Push/pull development for C-41 films?

from Johnny Motown (johnny.motown@att.net)
Here is a question that I thought would be a good one.

Some of you recommend exposing XP-2 at EI 320 or 200. IIRC, this can help reduce grain and increase contrast. When you take it to the photo-finisher, do you tell them that you've exposed it at your alternate EI or do you keep mum about it? Will overexposing it and having normal development be less good than overexposing it and having the EI adjusted? Would the processing machine just develop it to the best of its ability (regardless of an EI setting override)??

Thanks in advance!
