I wouldn't worry man. How much of a jump are you talking about? Like 200rpm max or like 5000 lol

First things that come to mind;
Dirty air filter?
Has the throttle body or MAF ever been cleaned?

My car idles at under 500... I would even say it idles around 200... I always thought it was a little odd but perhaps it's just how it is.... My lights have never come on though even in -60
