The DCT has a slightly shorter 2nd gear which will keep things slightly closer, though it is heavier. What speeds did you go from? The numbers work out similarly, so the most obvious explanations are either that you were in multiple gears and hence shift speed came into play, or the 1M was not in overboost mode (either due to bad gas, engine not warmed up fully, etc).
