as i said the OD is like the top gear . it will go into the top gear if it passes the power range .
when u floor it , the ECU or sensor will detect it as a sudden power , hence it will downshift to give more torque .
the problem is in city driving , u wont be pressing the pedal hard or what . suddenly u are doing 60 , and it will shift into 4th . just after u hit 60, u suddenly see the car in front slow down , u will slow down also . and the gear will not downshift so fast , hence when u want to accelerate , it will dragg 50km/h at 4th gear(top gear) , ur car will feel sluggish . then only u floor it to make it downshift to 3rd gear to accelerate back to 60 .
but in manual , u can control better , that is why OD is enable in auto boxes .
that's what I'm experiencing most of the time. So does it means that if I feel the car isn't accelerating (drag at 50) I should OFF OD?when u floor it , the ECU or sensor will detect it as a sudden power , hence it will downshift to give more torque .

Also can OD be switch OFF/ON on any speed? say if i'm driving at 80km/h, I want to overtake to right lane but right lane has car coming fast. Can I switch OFF OD at that time then turn on again. Will it spoil anything?
