ref- long idling/warmup
>Besides being hard on the engine,

Why is a long warm up hard on the engine ? Always thought most normal wear 
occurs during start and was good to idle at least long enough to get 
everything circulating.

For example the oil pressure switch/light is always located near the oil 
pump so is the first to see pressure and last to see it go away.

Always give my cars 20-30 seconds even at 70F to get full circulation going 
particularly since the oil is thickest then. Have always thought that for a 
good engine, idling in neutral is about the easiest duty.
