Serious question-- Does your triple shift as fast and accurately as your doubles? videos welcome.
There was about a period in my life where I had the opportunity to ride bikes with one of the best drive trains on the market. Granted they were friction shifters and double cranks, but I know what good shifting is and I'm a little anal about how I set up my drive trains. I am very particular about the way our bikes shift.

I was thinking about shifting today during the rides I did to the gym, store, and on my real ride; so I shifted my FD about 15 times (not really necessary), and really was critical with the results. I am perfectly happy with the way my triple shifts; it is positive, smooth, and fast.

If I am really hurting for something to do, I'll put one of my bikes on the trainer, and get my wife to take a video. I think it will be the LHT, just for you
