It's ...... faster. Threshold braking with heel toe action will slightly affect your pedal control on the brake. Typically safer since 5th to 2nd is hard to miss, worse case you end up in 4th. You can however manage 5th to 1st instead of 5 to 3rd on while going 5,4,3,2nd. That would be bad. You could load up the trans/engine only if you shift early. Best habit to avoid this is keep your right hand on the steering wheel until you feel the speed is correct, then proceed to heel-toe. Practice.
