Not so great: manual downshifting leaves something to be desired. In full auto Sport + the trans does an admirable job and is plenty quick. When using the flappy paddles, however it just feels like a slush box that's trying too hard to pretend it's a DCT.
I know Lexus can do better because I've driven the 8 speed implementation on the ISF (and I'm sure the RCF supersedes this but I haven't tried it myself).

For whatever reason the rev matching on downshifts seems really pokey at low RPM (I assume this is probably what you find slow), but it seems much better at 3k+ RPM. It doesn't seem slow at all going from 4->3 or 3->2 from around 3k or so. Anything less is a bit slow. Not sure why Lexus has it programmed that way.
