Nissan Almera throttle damping - bathtub tom

2003 1.5 manual
When changing up, I can lift off and have a fag, before I even think about pressing the clutch, and still watch the rev counter soar. It's not really a problem, just tiresome, although engine braking isn't what I'd expect.
I appreciate some damping is necessary for emmission control, but are all Almeras like this, and can it be changed? As it's 'drive by wire' I presume any change would be by software to the ECU maybe?
Has anyone any information or advice please?
