Curiosity--What all happens in 'S' mode?

Is there a reference somewhere that outlines what parameter changes take place when the shift selector is put into S mode (moved to the left, but no manual gear selection is made)?

I can see directly that:
  • Upshifts take place at higher RPM
  • Downshifts are delayed when coming off throttle
  • Boost is maintained longer (at least based on casual glances at my boost gauge)
  • Instantaneous fuel economy goes down, given a consistent speed and throttle position (likely a factor of everything above)

I'm curious if a full list exists anywhere.
