Getting back on topic….
After a week of no use, I estimate the time for oil light to go out is around 4 seconds. This is comparable to the time it takes to refill the oil filter after an oil change.
My oil pump was upgraded when I did the timing belt.
A check valve on the oil pump, or a way to pre-charge the oil system would be nice.
Don't sweat it.
There's enough of an oil film to have an instant hydrodynamic wedge of oil as soon as the crank starts to rotate.
The pressure and volume from the pump stop the oil overheating, and replace what is squeezed out the side of the journal.
It doesn't all disappear in a couple of seconds.
