Synplify usually likes as high level descriptions as possible. But I think
that optimizing for speed at this stage is not wise thing to do. First you
need a working chip and testbenches around it. After that it is easy to
recode some blocks for ASIC and FPGA for example. Of course it is
necessary to check that the blocks are synthesizable and reasonable sized
and the speed is reasonable. But targeting for maximal speed comes later.
