Sean I think it's important to mention that it seems from discussions that the goal was not 'shorter' deco per se but 'cleaner' and more optimal deco. In most cases decreased time was a 'side effect' of doing the right deco. Which is not to say that it's more desirable to be in the water for 8 hours than 20, but it's important to stress that it's got nothing to do with 'shaving deco'.
