PSM off, less jerky, smoother pdk?

Hi there I have a Panamera 2010 s model and I watched a video of a person complaining of jerkiness and throttle delay on the pdk. He mentioned that if the porsche psm/traction control is turned off on the vehicle then the ride becomes smoother with less lag/jerkiness when accelerating from a standstill.

I tried it and I think it may be slightly smoother, has anyone else noticed this? Is it dangerous to constantly keep the psm off if driving in the rain/driving hard?

Thanks

I have a 2014 GTS. Inactivating TC does reduce the throttle response lag. If the roads are dry and free of sand/debris TC is likely not needed.

one thing is i notice the most throttle lag has been experienced when starting the vehicle and backing out of a parking spot slowly, i also notice that when i see the most exhaust smoke when im backing up slowly as well. anyone know what that might mean?
