Sure. Especialy when you consider repetitive dives. Slow compartiments get
slightly more loaded with deep stops.

What kind of validation work are you going to do on this ?
Do you have access to an experimental database of recorded dive profiles and
resulting DCS hits ? 
I'm sure you don't rely on a warm fuzzy feeling to validate that kind of 
deep change to the underlying model ...

Modern models are "evaluated on a statistical ground". Does anyone know what 
databases exists, and even if some are public domain ?
I'd love to get my hands on such data.
