I see this in Forscan switching on and off about every 3 seconds at highway speeds (hard to hear the clutch so using the scanner works better). You usually see this when the load is light. Cab is already cooled down (temp diff between evap core and incoming air is lowest). This allows the pressure to build faster and compound that with higher RPMs it hits the pressure threshold quicker. Won't see this as bad at idle and you won't see it as much when the cab is still relatively hot (first startup after sitting in the hot sun). Newer cars have variable displacement compressors so they never really cycle because at low load they adjust the compressor plate angle, essentially lowering the capacity of the compressor. Only time they ever cut out is if the evap temp sensor indicates the coil is about to freeze.
