Generally, High-Vt (HVt) libraries are better for power and worse for timing, while

Low-Vt (LVt) libraries are much better for timing, but are very leaky. With the
availability of libraries containing multiple channel lengths, it is possible to achieve
better timing and lower leakage with a Standard-Vt (SVt) cell with a longer channel
than an HVt cell with standard channel length.
