Unfortunately the SRAM is used in asynchronous mode, and can't be used a lot faster than this. I don't understand why your system doesn't work with my timings though, this is very strange...

If you want to speed up the interface, you would need to write a controller in VHDL or Verilog, to handle burst transfers. Unfortunately burst transfers can't be used with tristate bridges AFAIK, so this means you wouldn't be able to use the flash at the same time any more...
