PHYSICAL_SYNTHESIS_EFFORT
Specifies the amount of effort, in terms of compile time, physical synthesis should use. Compared to the
Default setting, a setting of Extra will use extra compile time to try to gain extra circuit performance.
Conversely, a setting of Fast will use less compile time but may reduce the performance gain that physical
synthesis is able to achieve.
