i'd say, put some oil down the cylinders and do another compression test with the throttle wide open. If the compression comes up by a fair bit, i'd say your piston rings are getting weak (the oil will fill in the gap between the rings and the cylinder walls).

Re:comperssion test
the compression test was done warm and with the throttle wide open right? Do what was said above and see if that weak cylinder comes up a bit.
It also sounds like you might have a fuel pump problem, if the fuel pump check valve goes bad it takes longer for the car to start after it sits for awhile.

Re:comperssion test
Have you ever tried checking your main relay? I had problems like that non-stop, sometimes didn't want to start at all. Then my relay caught on fire, so i have a huge cluster----- of switches to start my crx now Never had a problem since
