Forgot to tell you my 2005 Buick's alternator takes about 5 seconds to wake up. It's a 2 wire alternator. The second wire may go to the computer or it goes directly to the idiot light. That said, my limited experience with the newer alternators is they take some time to wake up and higher RPM's than the older ones.
My farmall has a diode and the ford has an idiot light. I've replaced both alternators with in the past year. Both take time to wake up and both need higher RPM's to begin charging. After they wake up, they will continue to charge on lower RPM's. The older alternators began charging as soon as the tractor started.
Don't worry about it. I think there may have an advantage to the lazy alternators. When my tractors are cold, I let them warm up for a minute or two before increase the engine speed and add the load of the alternator to the engine.
