I do use a similar curve shape, but I make mine even more aggressive ramping up to the maximum shift speed even quicker.
I didn't do much with the 3-4 or 4-3 curves in the example I posted, but they can be made the same shape as the other curves.
I first figured out that curve shape by driving with 1st and 2nd manually selected and noting the speed reached at 12.5%, 25%, 37% and 43% throttle. I dropped a little speed so it would actually shift and put the values into the curves. Once I fit the rest of the curve, that shape was pretty much what came out. I put the downshift curves just under the upshift curves. The closer they get, the quicker it will start kicking down when getting into the throttle.
