Modern computer controlled diesels tend to pull fuel pressure when cold. At normal pressure you get to much fuel in the cylinder before it starts to burn, and liquid fuel sitting on the piston is bad.
Higher pressures help the fuel burn faster, but the lack of heat from compression slows the process far more then the higher pressure could cover for.
Older diesels just got really loud when throttled up cold, newer ones just have a total lack of power.
I attempt to warm it up to at least 100 degrees, even if it means a quick loop to the CG office and back.
