1.6.6.1. If Performance is Important, Optimize for Speed

To minimize area and depth of levels of logic, synthesis tools flatten XOR gates.

By default, Quartus® Prime Pro Edition synthesis targets area optimization for XOR gates. Therefore, for more focus on depth reduction, set the synthesis optimization technique to speed.

Note: Flattening for depth sometimes causes a significant increase in area.
