You have to remember it's not the shifting speed that makes most automatics slower, it's the torque converter. Auto's just don't deliver the power to the pavement as efficiently as manuals. Porsche desperately needs to wake up and offer some sort of paddle SMG type transmission ala BMW/ferrari and ditch the TQ converter.
