Definitely not the norm. My 2000 base quickly spools deep into the yellow at the beginning of the red. Good solid kick of torque too. What does the boost gauge show upon deceleration? Does it dive deep into the negative side (vacuum) or does it just drop slightly below the idle setting? If not, I suggest looking for a vacuum leak and, more likely, a malfunctioning turbo bypass valve.
Concerning the blue puff of smoke, I've been there too (at around 40K) and in my case it gradually became worse until it resulted in a large cloud. At that point it was obvious that the turbo had to be replaced. How long it will take you to get there (IF that is your problem) it is hard to say. May be awhile if you're not loosing a lot of oil between changes.
