Should be able to do static key distribution accross the device, and 11 gate levels per round. That gives a number around 880 ps per gate with routing. Should be able to go 3 or 4 times faster. At least twice as fast with routing distances. You could also do a dual pipline... -- remove "no_spam_" from Reply-to address
