  To be used with profit, you need to understand the overall way the
  P & R algorithm and data works. This would need a not so short
  explanation. Besides I'm also testing a "routing driven" placement
  which is not comited yet. I will experiment, then send you back
  the right set of tuning parameters.
    And, yes, I really do need to write a documentation about how
  the P & R works and how it relates to the configuration parameters
  so people can play too ;-)

  Nice feature. What (Linux) software does that? I'm interested.
  Especially since my laptop seems to develop the habit of overheating
  in my backpack when put in "suspend to RAM". Now I'm using suspend
  to disk, praying there will be no memory corruption...

  Don't bother. But if you have the whole trace, I can get the
  numbers from there. Especially the placement time and the
  layer assignment step, which is *way* too slow, have to find
  out where I did put a quadratic thing inside...
