Response to Home C-41 processing of chromogenic B&W film

I HAVE PROCESSED MANY ROLLS OF XP1 IN 35MM, AND RECENTLY XP2 IN ROLLFILM .I HAVE ALWAYS PROCESSED AT AROUND 38 DEGREES AND ALWAYS HAD GOOD RESULTS.I USED TO PROCESS IN THE SINK WITH THE WATER BATH AT AROUND 40 DEGREES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT A SMALL JOBO FILM PROCESSER AND FIND THIS MUCH MORE CONSISTENT. I HAVE ALWAYS PRESOAKED FILM TO BRING UP TO TEMP.WITHOUT PROBLEMS,BUT RECENTLY HEARD REPORTS THAT PRESOAKING SHOULD BE AVOIDED.CAN ANYONE SHED ANY LIGHT ON THIS
