Do you still use standard development, i.e., as if it were exposed at
the nominal ISO rating instead of a lower rating?

Didn't Tri-X once have a much lower rating, which was raised in the
1950s or something?

Strangely, my negatives usually seem to be _overexposed_ when I scan
them, but maybe that is just my careless development (I'm very casual in
development, and I'm always surprised to see that the results still look
better than what I get from a lab).
