It does multiple calls moving the setup/hold time around in a bidirectional search, and it just starts with a new netlist each time

Interesting. Eventually this might be something to explore with Xyce’s library mode.

I’ve had similar speedups comparing doing sampling via an external tool, which calls Xyce from the command line over and over, vs. doing sampling inside of Xyce, where the netlist is just processed and set up once.

Yeah, I prefer the "meta" approach so that I can be somewhat tool-independent. Though there are lots of little differences as we've seen.
