I'm getting pretty good at double clutching when I downshift, but I'm
curious, is there any benefit to single clutching? 

let's see if i've got this right:

how normal people downshift:
depress clutch, downshift, release clutch

single clutch:
depress clutch, shift to neutral, increase rpm, downshift, release clutch

double clutch:
depress clutch, shift to neutral, release clutch, increase rpm, depress
clutch, downshift, release clutch

shortshift:
shifting before peak rpm or revs.. "taking it easy"

speedshift:
don't use the clutch at all but let off the gas

powershift:
don't use the clutch and don't let off the gas

Thanks :)
