Your acceleration will not necessarily slow down. As long as the clutch is even partially engaged and your are at or near full throttle, you'll put power down. Like Hack said, you'll almost like DCT if you do it right. Automated manuals (I should say good automated manuals) will have perfect timing every shift. You're "cushioning" the falling revs so that the energy from the revs being higher than it would in gear goes to the ground more than it goes to wheel spin or the engine mounts.
