   My some irrelevant to the subject thoughts, sorry.
   I've wrote four years ago linear cutting optimization
software tool, useful as hell, though it needs computational
power as I don't know who.
   So, what's a problem with good auto-routing algorithm,
could anybody suggest why such things are priced so high.

P.S. About Xilinx things again. My linear cutting
optimization algorithm uses a lot of simple instructions.
Xilinx chip loaded with the specific CPU core could
beat any Pentium for this task (parallel processing) :-)
