I'm not sure what you beg to differ about? We agree on the problem being in the software.
Something else I would suggest is being more deliberate and consistent with your throttle input. I don't know how any of you drive, but I've noticed this delay happens more if you jab the throttle or have a couple "false starts" before committing to pulling onto a road. Try to roll onto the throttle with a steady and firm input. This is just a theory but I think the delay is a result of the transmission not being able to decide what gear to be in based on the throttle input being received.

Agree that a smooth consistent pedal push results in a better response, but I find that when I urgently need a little boost, eg to merge into another lane, that's when I feel the 'delay'.... But again it doesn't always happen like that. Sometimes with the same light but sudden throttle press it responds instantly!
