+1 The idea behind the VVT system is to provide low to mid-range torque for an engine which is tuned to give more top end power. Without it engines like the Honda Type-R (200hp for 1.6 litres) or even my own car's 1.0 3cyl (68hp) would be undriveable in the real world.
I can't see a benefit at idle. You could of course turn the engine off instead.
