If your fan is staying on for an excessively long time after being put to sleep, it's likely that the firmware controlling the fans needs adjustment. Take it in for servicing.
Firmware, good point. I take it one updates the firmware in the same way as one did on the old iMac... ---
The fan SHOULD stay on for a short time after you sleep the computer -- it is bringing the temperature down to where a resting machine should be. Many automobiles do exactly the same thing after being turned off -- run the fan to continue cooling the engine.
OT but, totally unnecessary! The engine does not create more heat after it's been switched off, it'll just take longer to cool down.
