Default Strange faucet behavior


Strange to me, anyway. Nary, nary a plumber.

I got a old kitchen faucet, washer-type (or compression) very similar to
the one depicted at:

I turn the hot to, say, 30% of flow. It very slowly creeps back to maybe 10%,
eventually stops altogether.

I turn the hot to, say, 70% of flow. It very slowly creeps back to maybe 40%
or less.

Figgered it had to do with the water going from cold to hot, but it does
pretty much the same when the water at the faucet has already reached full
temperature.

Any ideas?

TIA
