Mem downsizer no longer pipelines requests, allowing minimal latency Downstream transactions are are now pipelined to allow full throughput An optional parameter CUT() can be set to add a pipeline stage to ease timing This reduces ROM read latency from 10 to 6 cycles and increases throughput from 2 to 4 bytes per cycle

An optional parameter CUT() can be set to add a pipeline stage if timing closure becomes an issue
This reduces ROM read latency from 10 to 6 cycles and increases maximum throughput from 2 to 4 bytes per cycle
Some reservations I hold about this:
Would appreciate if somebody could weigh in on these points then I will remove draft status 😄
