Even for the small high-speed motors with the internal fans pumping air?

I saw a web page a year or so ago (don't have the link, sorry) for the Globe motor saying that the torque losses vs speed should be modeled as linear with a non-zero (positive) y intersept equal to about half the value at spec'd speed.
