I've uploaded images of the most complex Pulsonix demo before routing
and after to Files > LCDpub

They are routing1.gif and routing2.gif. Eight layers, 1287 pins.

The routing (100%) took 2 minutes 17 secs. I have a got a very fast
machine (64-bit twin core Athlon with 1 Gbyte RAM). The router does
cost $2,500, though.
