Love reading all the comments, great question! I switch gears VERY rarely. Only on pretty steep roads and/or dirt trails. Dropping from the 40 to the 32 is VERY easy. I just use my thump nail or a nearby rock to avoid getting greasy. I never flip to fixed/free during a ride though.
If you're riding in the flatlands, don't bother worrying about it, just find the right gear (unless there's wind, as mentioned).
