I added a oil pan heater to go along with my block heater last winter and I think it has helped a bit. Diesels are cold blooded at the best of times since they are a more efficient engine. I'm sure anything you can do to warm it faster will help you out. Have you added a front belly pan? It would help keep the heat in and help the aero. as well.
