Also, if you have tight timing constraints, it will increase your fitter times. Sometimes you can dramatically reduce the fitter time by using pipelining, cut-paths, etc. I've seen where having too much combinational logic between registers will cause the fitter to work harder(more time) to try to make timing. If your only at 60% LE usage, try setting optimization to speed.
