most engines run at a higher RPM while cold in order to heat up the catalytic converter quickly. The cat really doesn't do it's job until the catalyzing metals inside are hot.

This is the way the car is designed.

On a side note, you can pull away from a stop without using the gas when the car is cold like that.
