Once the oil pressure comes up, you should have little wear while cranking. Probably a bigger issue would be wearing out the starter.

I read once years ago that for every doubling of rpm's, you quadruple the wear. So at 8,000 rpms theres a whole lot more wear going on than at cranking rpms (again, once you have oil pressure).
