AC compressor cycling

My AC works fine, it can keep interior cold, but I never hear the compressor cycling off and on to keep it to the set temp. It just stays on all the time unless I turn off AC, as if temp. modulation is only done by the blend door?

This is different from my experience with other cars which you often hear the AC compressor clutch turns on and off as it adjusts the output. My Saab turned the compressor disengaged at WOT to help acceleration that I consider rather P-car thing but my 986 does not do it.

Is it normal or maybe my AC system has something wrong? No big deal as I rarely turn AC on but this makes me wonder.
