There are several notes about HIE reversal processing on my homepage, 
including an article from the German mag Foto und Labor, and data 
from Jim Henderson (some focussed on 70mm, but that's the same 
emulsion).

And you indeed achieve rather high ASA values, 2-3 stops above 
normal.
Another HIE benefit for reversal processing the lacking antihalation 
layer makes slide more crisp (lacks or decreases base-fog, something 
the Maco film is also tauted for).
