Next, tissues load or unload nitrogen in relation to halftimes. A long compartment (say 2 hours) would take 2 hours to become halfway saturated, then another 2 hours to become 75% saturated, and so on. But it is more complicated than that because the saturation is not absolute. Let's say that you did a dive to 99 FSW for 20 minutes. At that time, the fastest compartment (5 minutes) will be roughly 94% saturated for that depth. Your 2 hour compartment will just be getting started on the road to saturation. As you ascend, the 5 minute compartment will rapidly reach a safe level, but the 2 hour compartment will be much slower in releasing its nitrogen. With only one dive to that depth, though, even though it is releasing its nitrogen very slowly, the fact that it did not ever gt that full in the first place means that it was never really a major threat.
Now, start doing more dives in a reasonable length of time, dives that are continually reaching NDLs, and the fact that the slow compartment was slow in releasing its gas becomes a factor. It will have more and more residual nitrogen on each dive.
I do not know what you meant by "giving your body plenty of time to deal with it." If the slow compartments are slow to eliminate gas, then the body needs more time to deal with it.
