If you did that on the 2.8 in the B5 series it very often caused a hard to start engine on the next startup. This doesn't seem to happen on my 3.0
I think I'm right in saying that the greatest wear on an engine takes place on starting so, in general, I try to minimize the kind of thing you are talking about.
