why does my honda civic Si manual 6spd rev 500 rpms when i shift?

this happens when i press the clutch to shift to the next gear. is this part of the LSD (limited slip defferential) transmission so that when i'm in the next gear the rpms are ready to go? this happens when vtecing and just barely cruising (shifting at 2k or 2.5k). or is this a problem? thanks!
yes, to those who know nothing about vtec engines, vtecing may not be a "proper term" but you can do it, it is a major increase in tourque when you hit 5800 rpms. and no, this happens without any throttle. i need someone to answer who actually knows something about an LSD 2.0 DOHC i-Vtec Si manual tranny to answer, not some random jerk who thinks he knows how to drive one thanks.
 
Like I said before. There is no such word as VTECING. Make sure you're shifting properly.

Throttle off, Clutch in, select gear, clutch out, throttle on.
It sounds like you're giving a tad bit of throttle while shifting.
