08 5.4 IDLE QUESTION

IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE THE DRIVE BY WIRE IDLE DROP FASTER? I DON'T USE THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT, THE THROTTLE TAKES TOO LONG TO DROP DOWN, THIS IS MY FIRST DRIVE BY WIRE, AND IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS. BEFORE I GET NEGATIVE REMARKS, I'VE SHIFTED THIS WAY FOR FORTY + YEARS, AND NO IT WON'T HURT THE TRANS.

How long does it take for your idle to drop?
