Yeah, what 16ga said. If there was any increase in RPM relative to shifting it was due to the fact that you were harder into the pedal as a concequence of the taller gearing.
I just find it ironic that you worked so hard to get the shift points back up to the original speeds and now are contemplating driving around in 3 instead of OD. Could it be that your upshifts are happening too early? 
RJ, you may be concerned with doing work faster. I gave that up a while ago... If time is an issue these days, I usually opt for less work.
a = dV/dt

If you can't handle Dr. Seuss, how will you handle real life?
