Default Is it normal to sit at 1000 revs at start up?

Is it normal for a S8 to sit at 1000 revs idling on a clod start up?
Is it because its warming up the cats or something?
When its warmed up after 5 minutes or more it idles at 760 as normal.
Just a question out of curiosity, car runs fine otherwise.

Same happened to me, started the RS 6 for the first time in a while - questioned it and was told totally normal. No vag com faults either.
