Remember if you are cruising in say 4th and go clutch in, the systems will know 2 things. You are either going up or down so it holds or slightly bumps the RPM to prepare itself. If you go down it can quickly rev up and if you shift up it drops them off.

I don't pussy foot around when I shift so the shift is completed in say a 1/4 - 1/2 second. The computer doesn't have time to do anything because the the digital data its presuming, as you note, then collecting actual data, now has to be processed and then work the mechanics of the engine. That will take more than a 1/4 second to complete those steps because nothing in this world is instantaneous. So, if someone is slow to shift, then one might notice an increase in rpm as you and others have noted before the shift is completed but for me I just complete the shift and move on. If I had the time to prove this I would just video the tach on an upshift and see if it moves up i.e. several hundred rpm because thats what it takes to become "noticeable", but its not important enough to me to do so as I'm in the process of putting my retro fit roller motor back into my 'vette.

Maybe you or someone else could do this to prove the point? Be sure to complete shifts within say 1/2 second. Anything more is granny shifting.
