Stylus Warm-up Time

Do you prefer to warm up your stylus before listening i.e. by playing one side (or 2) of an "expendable" LP?

How long is considered acceptable warm up time?

Do you listen immediately or do you wait until the optimisation period is up?

Also what temperature range do you listen at? (My preference is 21-23 degrees C ambient although it doesn't mean I'll stop listening if it goes to 23.5 ;^)

Does anyone also pray while warming up the cartridge? 
Warming up cartridge would be too much for me, yes the improvement can be audible but I never do such a critical listening unless I am testing something, either different pressings or subtle changes in the system, but I understand those who do.
This is a true audiophile thread.
