Not sure if I'm missing something here Trikes, but surely if you're running a thermostat then the size of your rad should have nothing to do with how long it takes to warm up. The stat should block the rad off and run all of the pump water through the bypass until it gets to the stat temp. If it isn't then make sure the stat isn't bypassing or try blocking the air bleed in it (if there is one).
If its on full recirculation of water and it still isn't getting up to temp then the problem is elsewhere and you might need to consider insulating some of the outer surfaces or external water pipes.
Silly question... but you are measuring the temp at the block and not at the rad?
