I haven't had my 325 for very long but when it was a little warmer outside (50F-80F) I could get up to operating temp in a reasonable amount of time.
Now that it is colder (20F-40F) I will just barely reach operating temp. after my 20 minute commute which consists of 15 min. of city traffic and 5 min of freeway driving. (keeping the revs below 2500 until OP. Temp.)
My other car (Toyota) has an aluminum block + head and will reach operating temp. after 10 minutes, or halfway through my commute which seems normal.
I know my M20 is an iron block and will take longer to warm up due to the properties of iron. I wanted to see what it takes to get your car up to operating temp. when it is cold outside. to see whether it is worth replacing the thermostat or not.
