Trebuchet - I would think that bump starting method is going to be kind of harsh.
I tend to re-start the car with the *briefest* (and only partial) engagement of the clutch in at least 1 (usually 2) gears higher than my road speed calls for. As soon as the engine catches, clutch in again, then shift to the right gear.

Peakster: to get the high numbers with P&G, I limit my upper pulse to around 60 km/h (40 mph-ish), and re-engage around 25 km/h. For my transmission, that's a 2nd-3rd gear pulse.
The stupid high numbers come with a 2nd gear only pulse from 25-40 km/h.
