Carrier velocity v = µE (µ:mobility ; E:electric field strength) in silicon saturates at about 10^7 cm/s. This leads to an Id-vs-Vgs less than quadratic dependency, i.e. more linear behavior, meaning lower Id current, by this lower saturation voltage, but also lower transconductance.
Relation to layout: For a fixed VDD, E is inversely proportional to the gate length L. This means "long" transistors (L ≥ 10*Lmin) won't show the velocity saturation effect (at least at the process' min. VDD), whereas this effect will be more pronounced for L -> Lmin.
