See
http://www.berkeley-da.com/prod/tech_01.htm, especially the last paragraph. Cadence has taken a similar approach with their new APS simulator, which is also much faster than their old Spectre simulator.
Bernd: BDA AFS is not a FastSPICE simulator like UltraSim or the new XPS from Cadence (which BDA calls "Digital FastSPICE").
