With Quartus 8.1, the fitter needs between 2h15 and 3h15 for different seeds, synthesis is 51min.
With Quartus 9.0, the fitter needs between 3 and 6 hours, with the mean value around 5h. Synthesis is somewhat shorter (46min).

Hi emanuel,
Have you taken the incremental compilation into consideration? Usually compiling the second time takes much shorter time than the first time. If the compilation time in 9.0 is a first-time compile while the time for 8.1 is not, it may not be fair.
I am having a cyclone 3 design compiling right now in 9.0 for the second time and will post the result soon.
