Pete,

what's the trick to getting decent performance out of the Eagle
autorouter? The few times I've tried it, it's made a mess. On the other
hand, I'm not routing wide data and address buses, so maybe it's useful
for that sort of thing. I guess when I start doing 4-layer boards or try
to do a 68000 retrocomputer in KiCAD we'll see how badly I screw myself.
