Performance shift mode doesn't last forever. It will eventually time out and start upshifting again. It seems this time varies by what you're doing, gear you're in, speed, etc. I've had it last 10 seconds and other times only a few seconds. Also depending on what roll you're doing it might not put you in as low a gear as it can go. For instance it might put you in 4th, despite having some RPMs left in 3rd. I will admit I have been burned by not switching it to auto fast enough and hitting redline, but it's worth getting it down if you won't tune for it in my opinion.
