No way on waiting 40 secs to start after cycling glow plugs. The whole concept is to heat up the prechamber to the highest possible temp to aid starting. 40 seconds is quite a bit of time for that huge heat sink called a cylinder head to dissipate the vast majority of the heat generated by the glow plugs. Turn the key as soon as the light shuts off.
