No more than 5-10 seconds. Thats plenty of time for the oil to get around the engine. Besides which I have a dead GP so I normally have to wait 2-3 seconds for that cylinder to start firing.

The engine will come up to temperature much more quickly by driving it, than idling it. Not forgetting the transmission.
