You typically don't, but sitting there for 10 minutes, when it could
have been done in 2 or 3 can be...shall we say, a bit frustrating. <:-))
OTOH I have had problems due to having to wait too long for some one on
a very hot day with the wind blowing from behind. That big engine
started to diesel. A quick call to the tower, I was cleared to depart
immediately with my clearance to follow once in the air.

I've done a quick runup on a cold day with every thing in the green and
then had the AI tumble about pattern height. Sure was a good thing it
was VMC and not IMC. I saw the results of that happening to a Cessna
Citation which turned into a lawn dart.
