Stratix III MLABs are slow

Hi, has anyone here any experience (like me) with Stratix III MLABs? They seem slow i.e. my design fmax seems limited by MLABs more than anythings else. I have all the timing constraints require...

Could you get by with setting your MLABs to 'dont care' mode?

This attribute will speed up the MLAB, but won't be deterministic if both a read and write occurs to the same address on the same cycle. You can handle this case separately, and if so it will speed things up considerably.
