Altera Quartus II Settings File - Manual (Page 681)

PLACEMENT_EFFORT_MULTIPLIER
Controls how much time the fitter spends in placement. The default value is 1.0 and legal values must be
greater than 0. Specifying a floating-point number allows you to control the placement effort. A higher
value increases CPU time but may improve placement quality. For example, a value of '4' will increase
fitting time by approximately 2 to 4 times but may increase quality.
