General Why is it that my DSM idles so high on cold start?

I know it is normal for the idle to be higher until the engine warms up. But my car idles at around 2200 rpm when started in the morning. Most other dsm's start up around 1500 rpm. The car has no boost/vac leaks and idles just peachy when warmed up, but I hate when the thing is screaming when I start it up, is there anything I can do about this?
 
i really think its normal. my car idles at around 2k when i go to school in the morning. starts to drop down at around 1.5k like a minute later.
