For the relatively modest FPGAs I've been doing for the univeral stepper and PWM controllers, for instance, synthesis, place&route, bitfile generation usually takes 3-5 minutes. I can generally make an edit, recompile, program an EPROM and test in a 20 minute cycle, when I actually know what gremlin I'm looking for. When I have to think "WHYYYY is it doing that???" then it takes longer.
The PRU really looks quite impressive for encoder counting and step generation. Might just about put me out of business!
