I tried  the oil pressure light test whith the engine hot tonight and the 
light came on  pretty quickly after shutting the engine off - much quicker than 
the other day  with the engine cold.  

I chatted with our Mr Smith tonight about  this and he said he went through a 
lot of used ones he had lying around before  finding one that reacted quickly 
- hot or cold.  He said some didn't  respond much quicker even after heating 
them  up.

You can remove all doubt with a high setting pressure sender from Longacre.  
Racer Wholesale has it as P/N LAR-4308. It turns on below 20 PSI. This will  
motivate you to warm up your engine slowly. It may flicker a bit at idle,  
though, when your oil is hot. I believe it is slightly larger around than stock,  
but also slightly shorter. It still uses the 1/8 NPT thread. I used it to  
turn on a Trailer Stop light mounted in place of the stock tachometer on the  
race car. The Tach was on the dash. - Seth
