I agree with the assessment that 1st gear is shorter than it could/should be, but many of those on here who race or are just looking for faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile times have gone to a higher geared rear end, which will make the quicker off the line, and shorten shift times even more.
Another solution for those looking to lengthen their time between shifts, for a more tractable daily driver is to swap out the 6MT 3.74 final drive for the 7AT 3.357. I know one poster on here did that and loved the result.
I have not found it necessary to do so as yet, but I may at some point.
