Compression test question

Just checked the compression then realized the engine was stone cold. How much of a difference does a warm engine make on compression readings?

Im at 5000' and mine were 80, 90, 80, 80. I read that these should be about .86 sea level readings, so at sea level i would have about 93, 104, 93, 93 psi.
Thanks for any input! (Its not a big job, but Id like to hear that temp makes a good difference so mine would be reading higher so I can feel better about things.)
