faster this way because the tires r rolling already, mininize wheel spinning.

I think the fastest way is to get both -
wheel spinning and clutch slipping,
if u do it right, both clutch and wheels will get the grip real quick.
it reduces the wear and prevents overheat on either of ur clutch or tires(unless u have racing tires).

that's how most of car magazines test their cars,
and their explanation is that car accelerates faster
when both tires and clutch fight for the friction
