I ran an errand a few minutes ago and it took almost 5 minutes to go from 140 (had driven the car earlier today) to 180. Assuming my car is normal, I'd say you're doing well. Yes, your engine (and rest of the drivetrain) will last longer if you wait for everything to come up to temp but don't be afraid to give it a good romp when it's at 160. You may take 10 miles off the life of a 100k+ engine every time you do it. Just don't do it all the time or for very long.
