At +/- 10%, your engine is getting a bit 'tired'.  It should still run OK,
but max power will be somewhat down and it may burn a bit more fuel than a
fresh engine would.

You might want to start saving your nickels & dimes for a bit of freshening.
Also wouldn't hurt to look for any external causes, like misadjusted valves.
