If it's laggy on all kinds of manual shifting, whether paddle or gear lever, than it's not just a programming issue; it's the actual performance and limitation of A8.

Paddles and the console shifter are both electronic and have lag. The problem is they are not directly executing a shift. They are requesting the computer to shift. This is where the programming comes in. GM left the computer with too much to control. This is one of the main changes with the A10. They added what they call a DSC (direct shift controller) which gives the driver full control and bypass the nannies.
The guy above is right. There's shift speed and paddle response...two different things. If it was a limitation of the trans itself, it would not perform like it does in auto. The ZF and the 8L90 share a similar design, but with very different takes on programing and control. Lag is present on ZF units as well, just not as bad as the 8L90.
