Interesting - in the case that el_presidente posted about, I suspect this would have been of help if he had an idea of what the ppO2 drop should have been - then as he was at his 6m stop 'freezing his nads off' he could have seen that the actual rate of inert gas entering the loop was less than expected.
In fact, if you are making this complicated....I assume that you know the volume of gas in the loop, and so will be able to work out the volume of inert gas exhaled in a certain time period. Given a particular dive to a particular depth for a specified amount of time, I suspect it would be possible to work out very rough figures for the amount of inert gas you would expect to exhale when decoing at 6m. This could be an interesting back up for tables or a computer - if the rate of exhaled inert gas is less than expected you could extend the stop just in case. I would require a large amount of experimental data to work out however, and it would be a very individual thing. The limiting fact as always would be the accurancy of the ppO2 read out
