Is that normal or does it suggest a vacuum leak somewhere for example? It's not presenting a problem, I'm just intrigued.
Thanks all.

Entirely normal; in neutral (& Park) the turbine in the fluid clutch is released and is turning at the same speed as the impeller. In a driving position the turbine is stopped when the vehicle is stopped, and hence presents a drag on the engine via the impeller.
