Getting out of the water
fast is not necessarily what you are aiming for - getting out "clean" is. Depending on what you are planning as a bottom PPO2, you will probably get a better benefit, from a "speed" perspective from not ongassing it in the first place (ie. planning a bottom PPO2 of 1.3-1.4).
On the YBOD, running 1.3bar for the whole dive vs bumping it up on deco to 1.5-1.6 like Nigel, only decreases my average total deco obligation by about 5 minutes or so on a 30 minute hang, personally I'd rather do those 5 minutes and be more conservative, than get out faster.
Remember the earlier you get on the boat, the more people you have to help out of their kit!!
