I need some time warming up to play my best, and I often keep feeling better until 8 hours later (or so).

But, yes, I also think that one should be able to play at their best even if their warmup consists of trying to heat the mouthpiece. For example, I practiced Symphony Fantastique by avoiding my horn altogether for at least a couple hours, then jumping right in on the tuba entrance. That was the best way to simulate the performance situation (apart from trying to stay awake on stage).
