You got the equipment (Or can borrow) to do a leak down test?
As I said before I'm a bit stuck as to what it could be, High compression shouldn't necessarily cause it to drink oil.

It shouldn't unless the rings are funked anyway, High compression would usually play havoc with the ecu etc, Not rings/oil.
Is the car on the road etc? I can see If I can borrow a leak down test kit.

If the compression is higher than normal, the oil scraper ring is worn, this allow`s the comp to be high on test as the oil seals the other rings But passes and burns under load, Did your cambelt brake and leave small dints in the pistons ? If so this can coure the ring to be nipped in the grooves.
