If that's the "spring" you mean?
I'm never really had much issue with the clutch. I do get the odd jerk as the clutch fully engages but usually when I'm being lazy and driving on full auto pilot.
My foot muscle memory knows where the bite point is so well without applying throttle I can lift my foot straight from the floor to the bite point quick enough to make the drive train "thump" but not stall or even bog the engine. My performance launch without rev'ing is to do just that and then floor it and lift the clutch the rest of the way almost immediately. Results in a full throttle launch without breaking 1k rpm on clutch slip.
Maybe the clutches are different across the pond? I know quite a few other things are different on each side of the atlantic.

Not the same spring. The "slack" doesn't bother me but rather the vague engagement point.
