I've noticed dry yeast hydrates and becomes active more quickly if rehydrated at higher temperatures. At 100*+ the yeast gets creamy and bubbly within a few minutes.

I always rehydrate because it is always what I have done when making bread. May not translate to beer yeast but it just kinda made sense to me.

Just finished Chris White and Jamil's book on yeast. 95F-105F is optimal from what I remember.

Clayton Cone said that every strain has a unique optimal rehydration temperature. So for Fermentis to say that all of their beer yeasts should be rehydrated between 20-26*C is a most likely a simplification for ease of use, and not the optimal solution. Kinda like how Wyeast insists you don't actually need a starter for most beers.
