Need advice for pull processing of Ultrafine Xtreme 400

Shouldn't it be sharper?

Have several rolls of Ultrafine Xtreme 400 (which, sadly, has gone the way of Horn and Hardart's five-cent cup of coffee). I usually develop it at box speed (ISO 400) using the Massive Development Chart's recommendations of 14 minutes in D-76 at 1:1 dilution. However, I have to pull it one stop (to 200), so how long should I develop it for the lower effective speed? Thanks!
 
I would reduce the time by 30% as a starting point. Ultrafine Xtreme 400 is most likely rebranded Kentmere Pan 400.
I would test it by shooting a roll of Kentmere 400 at ISO 200 and developing it at 10.5 minutes in D76 1:1, If that works,
Develop the Ultrafine the same time.
