It has been my experience that S is indeed faster than D. From what I can tell the real benefit on the strip is that S holds on to 3rd gear longer whereas D would try to shift into 4th right before the trap. No bueno.

I'm still untuned so perhaps the difference would be even more noticeable afterwards, assuming I leave D alone and the tune is on S or something like that.
