I don't know about AS settling times, as I haven't used any AS chips, but I
believe that the fastest metastable settling times are those of the AMD
2982x series of registers.  They appear to be good at under 30 ns.  But I'd
say that FAST is useful over AS primarily because of its significantly lesser
power consumption.

Cheers,
