Maybe your seat is too far back and your leg is too straight and can't work, leaving your foot to do all the work?
The 9-3 clutch should be pretty light compared to the other Saabs. I have a Viggen and have driven 9-3's and 9-5's and they all have light clutches compared to classic 900's or other older cars. Have some other Saab enthusiasts try your car and let you know what they think of your clutch.
I match revs when shifting and the clutch only has to be used for one or two quick stabs, (getting out of gear, and then into the new gear). Each stab is only about a second max in my 88 900T. The 01 9-3, like my Viggen, won't be as fast at this because it has the eco-friendly throttle by wire T7 system. This won't change revs as fast as an older car, or let you engine brake.
