Improve timing using multiple PLL

Hello all,

In device like Cyclone V A9 there are 8 PLL. Generally I generate system clock from one PLL in normal mode but there is a way to improve timings using nearer PLL for some design parts using same system clock?

Thank you

    I can better compensate remote locations with another PLL in sync with system clock?

    Usually clock tree is global and if an improvement occurs due to multiple PLLs then it is likely a matter of chance fitting.
