Interesting.  I've been doing some tests of Delta 400 developed in Xtol 1:1,
with a densitometer.  I am rating the Delta 400 at 250 ASA on my M6 TTL.  I
haven't finalised my development times yet, but around 10 to 11 minutes at
20 degrees C seems right for normal development.  Grain is pretty good.

I've been running it in occasional tanks of Tri x with Xtol 1:3 70degress F  @14
minutes and it seems to need a tad more time. Negs and prints look great. I
agitate 10 seconds on the minute like the good old days.

I would argue the film doesn't need to be overexposed but that is beating an old horse.
