We’ve spent a fair amount of time trying to speed up Xyce’s parsing and setup. It mainly matters when there are a large number of library files. It is still slower than the commercial tools, but it is nice to see that we’ve improved a bit.

@Matthew Guthaus My best approach is to try to test out all possible combinations in one run to avoid this read and sim setup time.

@Amro Tork There are infinite possible values... I do a bidirectional search which is the most efficient way that I could think of.
