How freely should the pulley on the water pump turn?

If it's new, there will be a bit of resistance due to the shaft seals. If it's been in the car a while, it should turn with very little effort.

I can turn it with one finger, but it does not spin freely.  Yes, it's new.  As soon as I stop applying pressure, the pump stops turning almost instantly.  While uninstalled, it would seem that the pump should turn more freely.

So, it shouldn't turn like my bench grinder, for example?
