The DCT is shown to be slower by 0.1s on one of the 80-120km/h pick-up numbers (5th gear?), thoughts to why that is? Gear ratios? Weight?

Perhaps the new launch control on DCT gives the car an optimum 0-100kph time and thereafter the lighter weight and gearing of the manual helps it to maintain the gap, especially as the DCT would only require 2 shifts(?) before hitting 200kph.
