How long/far does it take for the Mazda to warm up?

I know in my xA that it doesn't take very long to go from the mid 80s to the optimal 184F in warm daytime hours, but it does use a "forced" anti-OD that prevents it from downshifting until its warmer than 140F. Grill blocking accelerates the warming as well.
