My comment referred not to the fact that the flash wasn't fully charged 
when the ready light came on but to the amount of allowable error (up to 
a full stop IIRC) even 30 seconds after the ready light.  When, if ever, 
does it stabilize?

When working TTL it's likely not a problem except in those cases where 
the flash is on the edge powerwise and there is risk of underexposure. 
My real concern is working manually where the implication is that you 
can't even trust a flash meter reading since the next shot might be 
different.

I think I will go back and do some more testing of my T-32's for 
consistency from shot to shot.
