Not to argue with your empirical evidence in the use of 50:50 during deco. But to quote the article "shrink and disappear faster during recompression". It doesn't really say anything about off-gassing rates or enlargement of micro-bubbles upon ascent. Do you have any other data or studies in these areas?
Not that I have any practical application as of yet, but I'm curious...

--BTW, how are you mixing your 50:50 at any decent pressure? Are you feeding it into a compressor? Because it seem wastefull to do via common PP blending practices. Again, just talking out of my (deleted), but curious...
