Has anyone autorouted the PCB benchmark?

Pentium Core 2 Quad 3ghz - took 1 hour and 37 mins for completion

Pads & Elektra route the same board in under 20-30 minutes.
 

The protel/altium router is not worthy of a lot of praise. Fanouts and odd quick job is OK, anything else its sklow and very messy

its always been like that, they were begged by users at one time to do a deal for elektra but it never happened.

:F
 

@ltium Designer PCB Benchmark

Hello, It highly depends on your boards. While I also believe situs is far from perfect, by reducing clearance and track width and increasing space between parts required time decreases almost logarithmically. But god forbidden if you need to route a high voltage, high current >250V complex board which needs considerable clearance and width into a small board. It took about a month for me to manually route such a board, compare it to situs. well it simply fails at very early stages, it can't!
