The more dilute the developer, the more compensation and the greater the edge effect. This enhances the grain. But Efke KB25 or R25 is so fine grain to start with, graininess doesn't become a problem. You can add a gram or two of sodium ascorbate, to the developer, to de-emphasize the grain if it is a problem.
