Ok, in your case, that dosen't sound right. Alot of people complain about the 'lag' in the Rpms dropping, or any mild movement of the RPM needle at idle.

Korax found that he solved his bouncing/idle issue by playing with the vacuum canister on the blower. He had adjusted it, and it was too far, made the car run rough. Might be worth mentioning to Saturn.

Interseting, ill mention that to them when i take it in. My delearship needs all the help they can get with fixing my car. Its so annoying cuz i love the car and want to upgrade but i wont touch the thing until it runs correctly.
