It's certainly not a bad idea. I think the auto climate control in my Jeep does this to some degree. If I'm stuck in traffic with the A/C on, and it's not hot enough for it to be cranked, I can feel the compressor kick on and off a good bit. I think it still runs it a minimum amount for dehumidifying (for defrost, and cool humid days). It does seem to mix in warmer air as needed, however, to keep the temperature output pretty constant.
