I did not know anything about this condition. Thanks for bringing it up. Some things are good to know.
At the risk of thread drift- IIRC it's the A tank's surface area that controls the rate of gas use. More surface area more off gassing from the solution the A is dissolved into. So in theory (if I'm correct) a short but fat tank could have a greater rate of A flow then the same volume but with a tall skinny tank. Andy
