Default Throttle hesitation?

Is it just me or is this just the nature of the stock dsg?
There is a definite hesitation between stepping on the gas and the car actually moving. Most noticeable when trying to jump into traffic, of course. I've gotten myself into trouble, cutting people off because of it. My wife complained about it too, when driving my car instead of her G37.

This worried me at first, then I realized it was my old driving style. Left foot on brake, right foot on gas. At least in my case. It only happened during the first month of owning the car, never since. Pressure on the brake cuts the electronic throttle. YMMV.
