Divider fail setup constraint

i can't meet constraints of a 64 bit divider,

i added 64 stages of latency inside divider.

How can i do?

    i found the problem!!

    if i disconnect the aclr, my divider setup slack increase noticeably!

    i think if a reset is inferred, more logic is required so this slow down the divider.

    if a reset isn't required, don't use it!!

    i'm sorry i've not solved.

    if i disconnect the aclr, the whole divider is kept in reset! so the timing are right but unuseful.

    I tried to use a slower clock. I instantiated the PLL, the input of the PLL is Clock, the default signal.

    I made 2 Outputs and i would use these in DSP Builder,

    PLL_clk0 => 100MHz -- same frequency of Clock

    PLL_clk1 => 50 MHz

    am i right to run my design with the PLL_clk0 and the divider with the PLL_clk1 ?
