I can double clutch downshift faster than a lot of people can clutch in... so, no, it doesn't slow your downshift unless you are slow on your clutch.
Also... yes, there are good reasons to double clutch. This has been debated a million times though, so I don't really want to get into it again. Let's just say that it's a matter of personal opinion (but mine is right... LOL).
