I'm with Rhys, those numbers seem a little TOO even.

But really, even is good, and I wouldn't worry about the absolute number unless the motor seems to be suffering from a lot of blow-by.

I once tested the compression in my Dad's ancient and well traveled old 6 cylinder '52 Ford F350 and got readings between 30 and 35 lbs on all cylinders. The starter didn't even slow down for the compressions, it would just sort of spin the motor gently until it softly chuffed to life.
