AHA! This is really becoming interesting. I promise I won't go on and on and waste everybody's time. First, James, I hear you loud and clear about the fact that with time things mysteriously improve - I've seen it happening already in the 8 months I've been at this.
BUT, to put this to sleep, please look at this other short video.

Turn 1 at slow speed shows that the partial lift of the gas happens during turn-in. That means that I turned in too slow, but I seriously doubt there are 1 or 2 tenths there. Then, I floor the pedal some 4 metres before the apex, and it clearly stays down all the way. No time to be gained there, in my book.
Then, you say that I try to catch a very late apex at turn 3. That is "the" apex everybody catches, as clearly shown by the consensus line of rubber on the track. And, as far as I can tell from the slow motion, I catch it pretty well. Some guys take a very tight line around the inside of the corner, others stay very wide on entry, but everybody ends up there and accelerates out - just as I do...
You will hate the moment you answered me the first time!
