That will take more than a 1/4 second to complete those steps because nothing in this world is instantaneous. So, if someone is slow to shift, then one might notice an increase in rpm as you and others have noted before the shift is completed but for me I just complete the shift and move on. If I had the time to prove this I would just video the tach on an upshift and see if it moves up i.e. several hundred rpm because thats what it takes to become "noticeable", but its not important enough to me to do so as I'm in the process of putting my retro fit roller motor back into my 'vette. Maybe you or someone else could do this to prove the point? Be sure to complete shifts within say 1/2 second. Anything more is granny shifting.
You do know electrons, which is the basis for computation, travel at a much faster rate of speed and are beating you in your shifts. What is probably happening with you is that on your upshifts you are above its 'increase' limit meaning it sees no reason to raise the RPM when you upshift. Different shifting style.
