You could try changing these hardcoded numbers to use the CORE_UTILIZATION instead. We're aiming for ~0.7, but it's ok to go down for 0.6 or even 0.5

Note that after setting a large CORE_UTILIZATION value, the WNS and TNS might reduce, in some cases even become positive. In that case, you want to update the clock period as well.

I wasn't aware I could update the clock period. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll update it.
