■ Allow register retiming to trade off Tsu/Tco with Fmax: Directs the 
Quartus II software to move logic across registers that are associated 
with I/O pins during register retiming to trade off t
CO
 and t
SU
 with 
f
MAX
. When you turn on this option, register retiming can affect 
registers that feed and are fed by I/O pins. If you do not turn on this
