Hmmm... That’s odd. I searched for “idle speed” using the iPhone Tapatalk app and a laptop browser, and I didn’t find much on this forum, although I do recall this subject being discussed multiple times.

My car idles well around 500 RPM. If I recall correctly, the more senior folks on this forum have warned in the past about setting the lowest possible idle speed (maybe 300 RPM or so?) because of potential harm to the engine, but I don’t recall the specifics.
