I've been noticing this also on prints. There is a pretty dramatic
effect if I let a roll go too long before processing. Stronger grain,
muddier colors, lower  contrast are all evident in film which has 
been left unprocessed. I wasn't really aware of that particular factor,
thinking that some poor results I was getting were due to exposure 
problem, etc. But I happened to send in a roll immediately after I took
it and was pretty taken aback by the difference in the prints, even though
the subject, lighting, and camera were pretty much the same as I'd been
using before.

Funny, I don't seem to recall this enhanced sensitivity to processing
processing latency time in the past. On the other hand, I am now frequently
in areas of climatic extremes, although I'd think that if film were
very cold it would affect the exposure whereas if it got very hot
it would affect latent images.
