Of course slower shifting is going to cause less wear on the synchros. Assuming proper shift timing. I don't think anyone here said that fast shifting is better for the transmission.

My only comment is that fast shifting, when done properly, should not wear out the synchros significantly faster unless you're just ripping through the gears every time you drive. If you drive mostly with casual, patient shifting, then the occasional fast shift at high RPMs should not be causing excessive wear on your synchros.
