What does a low compressing mean? :( 200

Hi,
I have a 1985 245 turbo that has been having some cold starting and acceleration problems. When the engine is cold the car is hard to start and it won't accelerate quickly. When the car warms up the car runs fine and accelerates good. I decided to run a compression test and all but the front cylinder got 9 bars. The front got 8 bars. This cylinder also goes through spark plugs quickly. What could be wrong with my engine. Can it be a bad head gasket? Thanks :(
