They use the Mercedes DAS tool and they reset the adaptations and your transmission starts learning all over again. If you always press the pedal and drive fast it will learn to shift fast and you will feel the shifts. If you drive slow then your transmission will shift slowly and more smoothly.
Interesting, I honestly dont understand what the difference would be (not doubting you). I guess it's a little more technical?
I think there is a difference with engine size... My car is almost immediate (not noticeably longer than my CLK 5g), but the SL (550, both '07s) takes significantly longer than mine. I was actually afraid that it would be the case in my car, after having driven the SL, but was pleasantly surprised.
