Have you tought about crosstalk problems? At least big bunch of vertical
lines can be a problem unless you add extra wires that are grounded etc.
This will not be a big problem at 0.18, but is beginning to be a real
problem at 0.13. There are tools to analyze the crosstalk and fix the
problems at layout, but they are very expensive tools.
