I think you misjudge when you characterize a 600 millisecond downshift that includes a throttle blip as "extremely slow".

From your comment, one might get the impression you think you would be faster if you were allowed to intervene in place of the DSG computer. Would you like to make a little wager on it?

Besides, fast shifting is only critical for not interrupting power flow while accelerating.

The brakes are for decelerating.
