I would think it saves heat since there's less time slipping but wouldn't that instant jump in torque "shock" something in the system to cause extra wear than a light slip? Just genuinely interested in knowing since I too like to kick it out on the occasional U-turn (FRS drivers, am I right lol).
it's the "is it better to brake long and slow, or short and fast?" question.

i think the true answer lies somewhere in between.
