putting a load on the engine is going to warm it up faster, so it will go in to closed loop sooner, idling your engine will put more wear on it, you should be ready to drive before you even start your vehicle, seat belt should be buckled, mirror adjusted.
I coast down my drive way and pop the clutch at the bottom so my car is moving before it ever starts, 208,000 miles and the engine is in perfect condition.
