The common torque converter automatic will NEVER be as fast as the DSG transmissions. The reason those transmissions are so fast is because they have a separate clutch for 1,3,5 and 2,4,6. When in one gear, the other clutch has already positioned itself for the next gear. The change between gears becomes seamless and no power is lost in the transfer between gear sets. Even the single disc Ferrari transmissions that shift faster than any other single disc transmission still don't shift as fast as a DSG. That's all there is to it.
