Daniel the people i know would definitely call that TOO MUCH AGITATION!
HIGHLY MAGNIFIED THOROUGHLY AGITATED. (Woogly Big bug from oz book)
all kinds of things happen bad when you do that (really)
Like too much development at the edge of skies. Edges of the film. You'd
think it was optical when you see the print.

Tab grains in particle like gent el agouti. I've seen experts agitate
obnoxiously gentle with tax tmax 400 i was going to puke!!

I fill the metal tank to the top for no gushing. As I was taught in
school. You may have a Jobo so i don know from a Jobo

but inverting the tank you imagine the water STANDING STILL as the film
rotates around it!!!

I was glad when they taught me that. Like about 8 years ago.
