Henrik, I would say "super staccato" is good if you can do it. 8th notes with a 16th rest in between each note is minimum:1(e)&(ah), etc. If you can kill it quicker, great, but this also means you can bump up your tempo too. That is why the metronome is good, it helps you find your speed limit so you can work from there and progress. Practicing scales of course is good, but I have seen a lot of students doing fret hand staccato w/ out realizing it when they go a little quicker. Make sure you are making it happen w/ open strings first. The best practice would be to take on a student so you can work on it together in a lesson. I don't practice anymore, I get enough in teaching lower level students since we go over the basics repeatedly. You learn a lot teaching something to someone else. Ricardo PS, the Pumping Nylon video is way more clear than the book. I recommend it.
