After applying the top-level performance pragma and refining bottlenecks with loop-level pragmas, the design achieves the target throughput with fewer manual optimizations.
| Metric | Classic Pragmas | Performance Pragma |
|---|---|---|
| Target Transaction Interval | 2,142,857 | 2,142,857 |
| Achieved Performance | ~140 FPS | ~144 FPS |
| Number of Pragmas in Design | 8 | 3 (≈2.6× fewer) |
This demonstrates that Performance Pragma simplifies optimization while maintaining or improving performance.
