So I searched some more and came across that the more on time, the faster the glow plugs will burn out.
And that any fuel saved with extra glow time is more than lost in the cost of replacing them.
This was an argument to prove that glow plugs should only be on as long as required to start the engine, with no benefit from more pre-heating than the bare minimum.
