Letting the oil circulate before putting load on the engine. Only needs an extra 10-15 seconds, or the time it takes me to scrape during the winter months. No time needed if it was recently running.
Oil pumps? Seriously though 10-15 seconds doesn’t sound excessive at all. I would be surprised if anyone is actually in gear and putting serious load on their engine/trans in under 10 seconds.

Is your engine >30 years old?
No. What modern marvel keeps oil from pooling in the lowest level after hours of disuse?

15 sec is plenty. After 15 sec all of your engine’s oil has traveled through the pump and through the whole system 1 - 1.5 times.
