RPM fluctuates with high idle?

I was using high idle for the first time the other day, watching a movie on the AVIC while the old lady finished up some clothes shopping. I noticed my RPMs would spike up ~100 for about 10 seconds then drop back down to where they started. Is this normal when using high idle?

Truck was not cold, A/C was on so the compressor cycling makes sense!

Mine does the same thing with the defrost or a/c on, if your gonna high idle it make sure the trans is in neutral so it circulates tranny fluid.
