Efficient Verilog coding style

When I changed from using MegaFunctions to Verilog and used wires for the combinatorial logic there was higher speed and less resources(I think). Specifically it was for an ALU, so it seems the ALUT...

Thanks, kaz

The rest of the design is synchronous, the alu is just the data path between regs/rams. It seems lik using a mux to select add/sub: compare: and/or/xor used more resources but using wires put the functions in a single lut per bit.
