How much thrust does the GE90 produce at idle?

The GE90 is the most powerful engine in the world (115000 lb), but does anyone know how much thrust it produces at idle? I remember someone telling me that the 737 CFM56 produces the same amount of thrust at idle as a Jet Provost military trainer. The GE90 must be a lot more!

It's about 3000lbs at idle.
