I agree with Greg. Only time it bothers me is leaving a car show or gathering where there is a audience at startup, and despite a lot of fine tuning the choke still cools off enough that it "thinks" a little fast idle is needed. This only seems to happen on my electric choke Quadrajet, and a little less adjustment hurts the initial actual cold start. My band-aid approach is to simply turn the key on and sit there with the choke coil heating up beforehand. Only takes 30 seconds to avoid the embarrassing fast idle start.
