Durametric Cam Deviation Help

Thought I'd re post this in its own topic to see about getting some traction (heh)

Fooled around with the Durametric recently looking at the cam shaft deviation on my 2000 S. I just finished changing the belt and had some extra time on my hands.

Cam shaft 2 deviation stayed at -4.89 from cold to full operating temperature. However, Cam Shaft 1 deviation started out at -4.81 and then dropped to -3.81 as the engine warmed up to operating temperature. This change was not at all erratic. In fact, it only dropped by a few hundredths after each rev of the engine via the pedal and then stayed steady until I revved the engine again. I stopped reading the drop after the car hit full warm so I have no idea how low it would have dropped thereafter.

This doesn't strike me as problematic - only the timing changing to maximize engine efficiency as temperature rises. But, would like a more expert opinion.
