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.
