Subject: Why Does Design_Analyzer Work Much Faster In The Background?

Hi John,

I have run optimization of my design (written in VHDL, works fine) using 
Design Analyzer in the background.  Why?  Because it ties our machine 
for at least 2 days if I execute it in the foreground.  DA's graphics
aren't that involved; why does it chow so much time?

When I do a report_area, I get the following messages. 

      Information: This design contains unmapped logic. (RPT-7)
      Information: This design contains black box (unknown)
                   components. (RPT-8)

The online documentation doesn't provide a solution to this.  Or is it
always recommended to optimize designs in the background?
