Hello, I use Altera's Quartus II software for my FPGA development and in the software package they have the following Advisors: Timing, Power, Resource Optimization, Increment Compilation. I usually open the Timing Advisor and make the suggested changes that are easy to make. Usually these are the configuration settings and are easy to change. The other suggestions in the Timing Advisor are a little more involved and I don't do. I want to know from those of you that use Quartus and the Advisors if you make the suggestions that require a little more work. For example: Optimize specific clock domains for speed. Usually you must open the Assignment Editor and add some changes. If you feel that making these changes are beneficial then I take the time to learn how to implement their suggestions.
thanks, joe
