From: Thomas Krueger <thomas.krueger=user domain=infineon not calm>

Hi, John,

My question is to Rajeev.

Rajeev,

I'm Thomas Krueger.  I'm using BlastFusion's latest version and it's past
midnight here at Infineon in Munich.  I have been working several nights in
a row now on this 600 K standard cell block, and I doubt that I will be
able to close timing within the next 4 weeks, which I am supposed to do.

Maybe Rajeev can comment on Magma's Press Release, which my boss read, and
which claimed Magma can do timing closure within 2 days for any chip.
