Default Oil light lags.....

ever since I swapped my motor, my oil light takes 2-3 seconds before it turns off once I turn my car on. I am not too concerned with this, but I know it used to shut off a hell of a lot faster.... any ideas as to why it takes longer now?

my own theory is that it has low oil pressure when it is first started... but none of my other cars have done this
