Yes, 3k+ rpm is key. But before that there is the question of how I engage first gear. Sometimes I don't realize I am engaging at around 1.5k rpm or less, and that takes a lot longer to get going.
There is also the issue of variance of the speed/feel in how the clutch engages when the car is cold vs hot, and there is a *slight* amount of engine float when cold, but when hot the engine speed drops like a rock, so there is less time to shift.
On the upside, the drivetrain efficiency and responsiveness, plus the deceleration coming to a stop, makes it all worth the learning curve!
