There's alot of confusion here.
Depending on the power band, there CAN be a benefit to short-shifting but it's not common in production passenger vehicles and clearly not the case with the Boxster. This is deliberately done by the designers.
I encourage anyone who's really interested in understanding this stuff to look up "Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics" by Thomas D. Gillespie.
