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.
