Improve your technique, and match the revs by careful throttle application.
If you do it right, the car won't slow down, nor lurch ahead, and the extra wear will be utterly minimal.
Many folks on here have an ignition kill switch so they don't have to key-off the engine, nor do they have to key it back on (which is done by bump starting in a high or even highest gear).
