There might be only a handful of times when EGR is actually beneficial. When it comes to cam timing, even though most Diesels don't resort to a variable cam timing, it may even be suitable to provide some internal EGR effect similar to what Mazda applied to that SkyActiv-D, and that was not bad at all. At least it's way less likely to cause carbon buildups to the intake manifold...
