IMHO that's an awful lot for the brain to be thinking about, calculating and doing while driving at speeds. Considering you should also be looking at the road and thinking about what other drivers are doing.
It's not something I have ever considered a need to do to get a decent speed on a public road. Which leads me to think that the only reason for it is to carry very high speed. Which is illegal and apparently anything not legal is not tollerated on IMOC?
It might be a lot for the brain to think about, but I can literally do it without thinking thesedays. I can still look at the road and concentrare etc, it really is not a problem. When you first learn to drive a car it seems like there is a lot to think about, but once you've been driving for a time it's second nature. Same thing here. So I can do everything you need to do plus heel and toe and lately a bit of left foot braking as well.
You can do it at high speed, you can also do it at lower speeds. I tend to do it to help smooth driving on an everyday basis. If i'm on a quiet A road in the middle of nowhere then yes I might be going pretty quickly, but by using heel and toeing it helps to keep the car balanced and effectively keep it safe.
Double declutching is pointless, just like shuffling the wheel, it has no place in todays cars.
