However with the lightened flywheel after releasing the clutch
pedal it would as quickly if not even more quickly spin back up
to speed. So I'm not sure thats a good argument.  Plus their is
also the added benefit of having a lighter sledghammer
(lightened flywheel and clutch/pp) hitting the transmission
then the heavy sledhammer of stock flywheel and clutch/pp after
re-engaging the clutch.
