Depending on ambient temperature, it may take 2-3 minutes to register on the gauge. Maybe a bit longer in Winter in the higher latitudes.
A properly designed oil cooling system will have a thermo plate to limit flow to the radiator until temp gets close to operating level - ie, it won't make much difference in warm-up time.
