Default Semi consistant piston slap

I've got what I think is semi regular piston slap on start up, usually lasting just 1 or two seconds after the engine first turns over, but it seems like it's usually louder when the engine is cold. I'm kind of concerned that it seems to be doing it when the motor really hasn't sat all that long either, maybe an hour or two. Is this something to be really concerned about? It's an 05 WRX with about 125,000 on it. Combined with my oil consumption issue, could this mean the pistons are pretty much shot?
