Not sure how double clutching would get you to higher rpm more quickly unless by "double clutch" you mean pop it into neutral, rev it, and dump into the next gear (which would be more of a clutch kick). Double clutching would slow down the shifting. I have to double clutch (or double declutch rather) on my morgan.

I did double clutch on the Z for one day and by the end of the day the pedal was very mushy - I think I boiled the fluid.
