Strange off-throttle behavior S70 1998

I've noticed something peculiar about my "new" S70 and I'm looking for some opinions. After taking my foot off the throttle when shifting, there is a lag before the engine starts to decrease in RPMs. For instance, let's say I'm shifting at 3000RPMs. I take my foot off the gas and depress the clutch, but the engine hangs at 3K for roughly two seconds before descending to the speed that I want. My 1-2 shift is pretty terrible because I just can't seem to time it right. Does anyone know why this is happening? Something to do with cruise control, perhaps? No amount of pondering has given me a clue as to how this is even physically possible unless there is a delay in the closing of the throttle plate itself.

Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this.
