I want to know the max speed of NIOS ii based on cyclone iii EP3C120N780C

I have a DK-DSP-3C120N KIT,the NIOS II clock can not exceed 100mhz.The highest speed of NIOS II /f is now just 100mhz.The C program always dead when the clock exceed 100mhz.I want to working at least...

Thank you for your help.The negative slack and critical warning has been dismissed.

Scaling the PLL down to 150MHz according to your idea also get setup failure(in slow 1200mv 85c model).So I was compelled to give in to the 133.333MHz,and then all right.

The slow 1200mv 85c model Fmax=142.29MHz,

The slow 1200mv 0c model Fmax=152.63MHz.

I wish to work stable in 133.333MHz clock which can synchronous to the DDR2 SDRAM---my next objective.
