2. When gearing down, I go straight from 6th to 3rd, sometimes even second if I'm going slow enough. The only time I step down is if I misjudged what the rpms would be upon letting back out on the clutch. Like going down to 4th only to realize I had enough room to kick it in to 3rd.
3. The tS is the PP with a wing and some extra stuff. I... don't really care about it.

Not sure I get what you mean?
You shouldn't have to "gear down so far" unless you go from like 65mph to 30mph all of a sudden.
If you're in the 50 mph range still in sixth then of course it's going to feel super slow. It'll eventually get you back to 60 or higher but you're better off downshifting to 5th and then getting it back up to 60ish, and then shifting up again, etc.
