Default Voltage regulators ... performance effect?

Ok. A 6.5V regulator giving a consistant 6.5V to a servo .... compared to a 6V regulator giving a consistant 6V. Given these were tested on the same servo with the same LiPo 7.4V battery.(Seperatley natrually )

Would there be a measurable performance increase from the servo in speed and torque from the 6.5V set up in comparison to the 6V?

Is there even any info' on this?

What do you think? .........

There would be a small performance increase, as long as the higher voltage wasn’t too high for the servo to handle reliably.

For reference, many servo specs will list performance at a couple voltages, the higher voltage has more torque and speed.
