Altera Quartus II Settings File - Manual (Page 554)

FIT_ATTEMPTS_TO_SKIP
Controls how many fit attempts the Fitter skips. In subsequent fit attempts, the Fitter uses higher effort to
improve design routability at the expense of longer compilation times. Use this setting to force the Fitter
directly into a second or third fit attempt, which will save time when it is known that multiple attempts
are needed. This setting causes the same amount of additional effort to be applied but does not guarantee
an identical result to what would be achieved if all fit attempts were performed. For some families, the
Fitter will not perform a third fit attempt automatically due to the long compilation time and possible
timing quality degradation. However, a third fit attempt can still be forced to run by setting this value to 2.
