I have a 2000 Ford Focus Wagon [ Diesel]

I notice that when I take my foot of the accelerator pedal, the engine
revs continue for appx two seconds, and then drop down to idle.
Seems to me there's a delay / damper in their somewhere.
If so, what is it for, and why is that delay required on a diesel
motor?
