Default Tri-x, HP5 and XTOL

Hello,

I start using B&W negatives. I already used ID-11.
I want try Tri-X, HP5 with Kodak XTOL developer.

I overexposed negatives about 0.5-1EV. With ID-11 I used normal
development time, but XTOL increase film speed.

Question: Should I decrease development time (compare to
www.digitaltruth.com). I plan use 1:1 dilution, every film in new bath.

Xtol 1+1 and Tri-X: sweet; I started with Kodak suggested times
and shortened about 10% to reduce contrast for printing with condensor
enlarger.

Xtol and HP5+: seemed to raise Dmin a fair bit and raise the grain
a bit. Not a good combo for me.

Fair warning: I think Xtol 1+1 and TMY (in controlled lighting) is
the sweetest ever combo.

Dana
