I'm not an a/c person but it makes sense the compressor shouldn't run all the time. in my 93 toyota that has the basic a/c on/off switch, the compressor will cycle on and off on its own. I'm not sure how much of that is to keep the cabin at a reasonable temperature and how much of that is to keep the evaporator from freezing. Guess I will have to dig further...

14k+ miles, the A/C only cycles on and off when the A/C button is pushed or the defroster is on, you can hear it at an idle, you can hear the belt chirp (lots of threads made on that 'issue') and you can feel the load on the motor, I don't notice it all the time (my attention is usually elsewhere) but I have yet to feel or hear it unless the proper setting is engaged. Even on max cold the compressor isn't running all the time, as you noticed with your Toyota. I thought you had implied that the compressor will kick on even if say you had it set to warm air from outside, did I misread you?
