It differs based on the gear you are using, but warmup can be as long as 2-3 hours to sound its best. When you power down, they usually cool off after just a few minutes, or you can use a towel or oven mitt if you don't want to wait. I'd recommend giving it a few minutes.
Yes, tubes need break-in, but most of the ones you will roll to are old stock, and although many will be advertised as NOS, I bet most of them are just used old stock, thus already broken in. Cheers,
