what are you seeing for "normal" oil pressure when the motor is cold, and how about hot?

I have only seen this after changing the oil, and I put oil in the filter. I think mine comes up as soon as I crank it up.

Oil pressure looks good. i wouldnt worry about the time delay unless you start seeing odd oil pressures while your driving.

x2 normal pressures. and x2 on the start off odd pressures then it could be just the gauge.
