How long does it take your car to warm up?

Guys,
I've search, but none of the threads I found touch upon this specifically.

Basically, my 986 takes bloody forever to warm up. In about 45 degree weather, it takes the car over 10 miles for coolant to get to 180 degrees. For reference, my 08 911 Turbo has oil at 180 before the boxster even gets its coolant to 180. Same story with my 993TT.

I'm wondering if I have a lower temp thermostat or a fan stuck on or something. No codes or fan noise when there shouldn't be. Its not a big deal and I get that the cooling system is pretty large for a tiny little 2.5L, but its kind of annoying to wait 15 minutes before being able to give the car any appreciable load and rpm.

Is this typical or should I continue to investigate?

Thanks.
