Tom,
What's the half time of that leading compartment? 97 after 10 minutes on the surface seems odd, after just a single 80' NDL dive...
Sorry, quoted the m-value not percentage of m-value. Either way, if you're doing a 60 minute SIT, the first 6 compartments are going to be mostly cleared. 90 minute SIT and the first 8 are going to be mostly clear.
1-4min
2-8min
3-12.5min
4-18.5min
5-27
6-38
6-54
8-77
9-109
10-146
11-187
12-239
13-305
14-390
15-498
16-635
These are the values for compartments 1-16 without the 10 mins on the surface

The 10 mins on EAN32 is technically done at 1ft since you can't put a SIT in this software, but this is the final segment of the dive
M-Value 97.3 83.2 73.8 66.8 62.3 57.4 54.1 51.7 49.9 48.2 46.8 45.6 44.1 43.5 42.6 41.8

%M-V Grad -1.1 14.7 32.2 43.6 45.7 43.3 33.9 20.3 5.1 -7.8 -18.9 -30.1 -42.8 -52.7 -64.2 -75.9
After 10 mins on air, i.e. just surfaced and chilled out
M-Value 97.3 83.2 73.8 66.8 62.3 57.4 54.1 51.7 49.9 48.2 46.8 45.6 44.1 43.5 42.6 41.8
%M-Value 35.9 50.9 64.5 73.1 75.7 76.9 75.0 71.7 68.3 66.4 65.2 64.3 64.2 63.3 63.2 63.2
%M-V Grad 3.0 18.7 35.8 46.8 48.3 45.7 35.8 21.9 6.4 -6.7 -18.0 -29.3 -42.1 -52.1 -63.7 -75.5
If you did 10 mins on O2
M-Value 97.3 83.2 73.8 66.8 62.3 57.4 54.1 51.7 49.9 48.2 46.8 45.6 44.1 43.5 42.6 41.8
%M-Value 16.7 33.6 50.2 61.5 66.7 69.8 69.5 67.6 65.2 64.1 63.3 62.7 63.0 62.3 62.4 62.5
%M-V Grad -26.2 -10.0 9.9 23.9 29.2 28.9 21.8 10.5 -2.6 -14.3 -24.5 -34.9 -47.1 -56.3 -67.3 -78.6
So as you can see, there really isn't any real appreciable difference in the slow compartments unless you're on O2. The difference is really negligible in the really slow tissues, and in the ones where there is a difference, i.e. compartments 1-6, those are going to clear out after an hour SIT anyway.
sorry for formatting, it really didn't want to format anything at all
