In the end, you may have to do your own testing. I finally set out and did 
mine last year and it has made a huge difference to the consistency of my 
negs. I have never used Xtol.

Hello,

I was hoping to gather a variety of different samples of Tri-X pushed at
different speeds. I have a list put together of some times that were
suggested to me at (1:1) 20C with about 3 agitations every 30 seconds.

Here is my list so far:
ISO 100/200 - 8 minutes (20C)
ISO 400 - 9 minutes (20C)
ISO 800 - 10 minutes (20C)
ISO 1600 - 15 minutes 30 seconds - 16 minutes (20C) (3times/30sec)
ISO 2000 - 17 minutes 30 seconds - 18 minutes (20C) (3times/30sec)
ISO 2400 - 18 minutes 30 seconds - 19 minutes (20C)
ISO 2400 - 16 minutes (21C) (3times/30sec)
ISO 3200 - 24 minutes (3times/30-45sec)

The values up to ASA 800 are from the digital truth site, but I hear from
many that the times differ after ASA 800. Do any of you have samples of
pushed tri-X in Xtol?

Thanks! I want to get as much information as I can before I start
developing.

Yama Nawabi :)
