I'm not certain that I can make this statement unequivocal, so note the qualifiers <g>
It seems that the developer temperature creeps up a bit during the course of the process. I sometimes measure the temp at intervals during the processing, and, IIRC, not having made any notes, every time I've measured the temperature it's a bit higher at the end of the process than at the beginning. While handling the tank may contribute some to this, I wonder how much heat the chemical process puts out, and if that could be a factor in the upward temperature creep? OTOH, I am very careful about handling the tank, and do so only minimally and at the edges or by the securing ring around the cap. I also wonder if a water bath would mitigate the increase.
