Lazy transmission or problem?

I don't know if it's just me but do you find the transmission very lazy while driving when the car is still cold? The shifts are pretty noticeable and jerky. Also, if I put it in manual and shift at lets say 3k, it'll sometimes reach 6k before actually shifting. Can I chalk this up to the transmission being cold or might I have some issues? Once warm though, shifts happen completely unnoticed.

I've noticed that when I use the paddle shifters (in manual mode) - it takes a second or two before it actually shifts. I intend to ask the service manager about it when I go in the next time (even though I suspect they will come back with "could not duplicate issue")

end of day this car is still an auto, while i think the shifts are pretty quick for an auto, it's not going to be instant when you hit the paddle like a dual clutch tranny.

I never use the paddles, and even in Sport + mode it shifts fine. It does hold the gears a lot longer, but it's not jerky. Definitely not lazy or jerky in Normal mode. Eco is okay but leaves a lot to be desired. I find myself flooring that much harder in Eco mode to get up to speed, but it does increase MPG in town.
