The ZF does shift fast, it's the shift response times from the paddle inputs that is extremely delayed compared to the DCT. The lower ratio's of the 8 speed also means redline comes up really quick, so you gotta pull the first gear paddle at like 5.5k to not bump into redline, it's beyond stupid.
The DCT programming in the M5 and M6 was much better than the M3/M4 too, it never suffered from those lazy upshifts at part throttle like the M3/M4. I never drove a CS version though, maybe that was fixed.
