When the engine is cold I really have to short shift to keep pressure from pegging. As it gets cold outside I see this being a bigger issue.

Your actions when the engine is cold are right on. At "pegging," the overpressure piston is bypassing oil, thus maintaining the "pegged" pressure. Keeping the RPM down when the engine is cold, as you do, helps prevent higher flows and potential higher pressures.
For an air cooled engine, live with the cold engine, high pressure limitations to insure you have the required lubrication when the engine is hot.
