RPM At Start 850 1996

Hi All, I am the proud owner of a 96 850 turbo wagon for about 2 weeks now. I have been monitoring this board for about 2 months and have learned a ton of info. about Volvo's, and it helped me decide in favor of getting one. So I have my first question. I have noticed that after starting the car when cold, the RPM's climb immediately to about 1800 rpm for about 1-2 seconds and then drops to 1000 rpm. Is this normal for a Volvo? I would think this would work against longevity. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks, Mike
