I would look at glow plug operation. Might have a intake air heater perhaps its not working correctly.

Diesles take for ever to warm up. 10 minutes! You got your self a champ. Invest in a block heater to help get that antifreeze warm. Hell it may just be the oil since that is what opens the injectors when its cold its super thick when its warm it gets to flowing better.
