That's partly because most OEMs use a conservative tune in the automatics for comfort's sake. The ZF 6HP in my E90 335i has an aggressive tune on it, and it shifts in 140ms according to testing done by the tuner, which is extremely close to BMW's DCT box in the E90 M3 (130ms IIRC). Curious to see how far BMW/Toyota are willing to dial it up.
