Flickering Oil Press Light on start

Does everyones oil pressure light flicker for a split second after starting while oil pressure builds? Just changed mine out and it seems more noticable than with the old switch. But i am also paranoid.

Mine goes out about 1 second after startup...

Are you using the OEM oil filter (or another oil filter with an anti-drainback valve)?
