If it doesn't run right for the first 20 seconds I'd wait 25 seconds to let off the clutch.

Letting cars warm up is, like others say, a legacy thing. If your car made in the past 30 years doesn't run correctly right off the bat you should either experiment with letting it warm up for 30 seconds or figure out what's wrong with it.
