FWIW, I turn my PSM off for autocross runs. Autocross is a place where I sometimes want to play with my rear end (no comments please!), and the PSM Nanny gets in the way. Worst-case-scenario is pretty much hitting some cones.
On the track, PSM stays on!

It's alot like a car with street tires vs slicks. You can't drive faster than the tires allow. The more you push it the slower you go. You have to listen to the car and then adjust to make it work....
Call it driving around or driving to the nannies...... I've been in cars where I like it and where it hinders the driving style.....you can adjust... With tires these days I think some nannies on street cars calibrated for street tires can't keep up with the available grip from slicks and can intrude but I'd much rather have them when they are needed...great example of street abs...vs motorsport abs.....or race cars with traction control buttons the driver can adjust to allow more slip angle......though it can backfire as well

 . I started looking down the skidpad road thinking I would need to use it but I was able to get the car slowed and turned just in time (and subsequently got black flagged for not coming in after a 4 off ). Nannies are great when the tires, brakes, etc. are to OEM spec. Not go great otherwise.

As hard as I tried I couldn't improve on what I did on the PS2s, although I had several more days on the same track. So, I decided to back off a bit and wait until I wear the new tires out. Funny thing is I'm not really any slower most laps than when i was really trying hard. This is not to say I can't improve my own driving, just that the tires only give you so much.
