I found that a compromise usung a middle dilution with Pyrocat M dilution 4:3:500 (instead of 5:5:500 Normal or 3:2:500 EMA) lets me use full box speed and process 2 or 3 sheets with 3-4 minute agitation cycles and process times between 11 and 14 minutes (12:30 Normal). It may not have the acutance of an EMA process but it does shorten the process enough to keep me engaged and without the rush of short times where in/out pour times can have an impact.
With HC110 I previously used dilutions of 1:47 commonly or 1:63 and adjust time and agitation linearly to get above 10Minutes always with 4 sheets or a roll.
