As long as its even, the slower the better - uses less fuel!

Two things goverb tickover speed as recomended by a manufacturer, at the bottom is how slow it will idle smoothly, at the top is how fast it needs to go for the alternator to charge the battery.

If I rev my disco then let the acelerator pedal go uickly the engine drops and very nearly stalls and comes back to life and is happy idling at about 500-600rpm. I am guessing slightly higher tick over would improve pulling away a bit? just a guess though
