The anecdotal part is that I have only run two batches at 65 and 68 whereas I routinely run 72 to 75F with outstanding results.

But I'm going to be processing some 1:3 dilutions and wonder if going up to say 75 wouldn't speed things up. But if it does speed up the processing will it have a negative effect? I'm not sure about the tradeoffs. I read (here) that TMAX developer likes 75 better than cooler temps. What about XTOL? Thanks for your thoughts on this.
