The slight pause is inherent to the 4L80E design on the 2-3 shift. Shift time varies with throttle angle, gear, and most importantly--calibration. It is possible to firm up the gear changes, but certain load scenarios simply do not call for lightening quick shifts. In reality, that slight pause is about equivalent to the amount of time it takes to push in a clutch, move a lever and let go of the clutch pedal. But when it comes to paddle shifters, people have unrealistic expectations. They expect every paddle shifted gear change to be a slam dunk. Not the case.
It's like parallel parking an SMG. People expect the process to be silky smooth because it is run by a computer, but could they do better manually--not necessarily.
