Personally, I've been shooting new Tri-X at 320 and have been happy
with the density of the negs.
As for effective film speed, I have some Diafine in the basement that
I'm meaning to mix up. It's a 2 bath developer that gives a speed
increase with many films. EV for old Tri-X is listed as 1000-1250. I'm
going to try some new Tri-X with it at speeds of 800 and up and see
how they look.
