Warm water changes?

ok I'm wondering if warm water changes are ok. I figure if I add a bit of warm water to the mix and let it cool to almost room temperature it might be better than having cool water warm up. Now this is just treated warm tap water not hot, is this ok?

I always do my water changes with water that feels as close to the tank temps (80*F) as possible. I've pretty much got it down to touch. I still make sure the water is at the right temp before adding the fish back though.

I think its really important especially if you don't remove your fish for changes. Putting cold water in during a change will cause a drastic temp drop which isn't good for the fish.
