Interesting question.
One of the recommendations for cars that may get bore scoring is to keep revs low until the oil is up to temp, but ALSO as well as low revs, also low throttle openings to keep pressure low.
The one or two times that I've driven an auto or PDK Porsche, I was surprised at how quickly it shifted. It would drive me bonkers on a daily basis. But if you're a bit heavier on the throttle, those cars rev higher so the answer is to manually shift or just be a bit heavier on the throttle.
My understanding is that the worst time for bore scoring is if the engine is cold. And it's worse if the engine is cold and the revs are also high, especially in the "S" cars since they have forged pistons.
