2 -- What do you mean by "shift faster and more aggressively"? I'm pretty sure the transmission shifts the same quickness always. If you're in S mode, you control when the shifts happen, not the computer, so what am I missing?
When you are in S4 or above, the transmission increasingly powershifts (maintaining full throttle during the shift), which gives you that bucking surge when you shift and can spin the wheels.

It also functions as a form of traction/torque delivery control, so in poor traction conditions you could conceivably achieve better times in lower drivelogic modes.
