I don't think that issue was studied and published (Do you know,
Richard?), but I don't see why/how that difference affects unless the
image degradation is already started while storage. There can be some
minor differences such as slight difference in necessary processing
time, resulting hue, etc. but it shouldn't be any larger than
day-to-day variation of usual darkroom practice.
