It shares the CPLD's problems of ground and VCC bounce. The Virtex
was completely empty otherwise and the counter was stoppable, so
it was easy to see the culprit.

Having a hundred ground  pins  should  be more of an advantage and
wether the innards are fine-grained (FPGA) or sum-of-products-cells (CPLD)
really does not matter.
