14 years agoThere isn't much reason to have it off. It was an option when it was new(a few years ago) and may have had issues like slower synthesis times. It should be on.
Note that timing driven synthesis didn't make designs much faster, as setting synthesis to speed generally already did all the speed algorithms. Instead it allows the fitter to find things that don't need speed and synthesize them for area.
