I've noticed loosing 1~2 seconds on an autocross course simply because I left it in comfort and not Sport/Sport +
I'd do my daily commute most days in comfort because there are no opportunities to enjoy the benefits sport/sport+ offer, but when I do go into those modes I want the car to be fully alert. Comfort is rather sleepy...like I am when I drive to work.

It depends on the driver and what they are comfortable with. I autocross and track as well, but in my M3, I don't put it in sport+ simply because I run DSC completely off and the rear tires can break loose even in 2nd gear. I prefer the linear nature of the less aggressive throttle mapping to allow for more precise control. It also allows me to steer with the throttle much easier.
Also, consider this: A BMW team racer recommended to track the F80 in comfort mode for the same reason! I'm sure a tuned F30 would be similar.
