I've been always doing a sort of two step since it revealed itself to me within some 2 months of ownership. CVT just doesn't like to be continuously and too quickly stepped on, in particular from a stop.
To get a smooth and competent acceleration without (or with much less) hesitation and delay, its much better to quickly "prime it" first. I never tried beating time records, but when I need to move decisively, I first touch it a bit (no mash needed) and then go again.
I'm not sure if this is programmed this way on purpose, but I'm pretty sure the CVT programming could be fixed so that this is not necessary.
