Default RPM higher when cold?

It is not the needle settings.

I have been playing with my OPS maxi conversion. The Bowman ring has about 1-hour on it with synthetic oil. Yes, I know he suggests regular oil for break in. I am thinking that the compression is a little better when the oil is colder thus giving slightly higher compression. It is a matter of about 200 RPM. Not a big deal but interesting. Anyone seen this too?
