I believe this reduction of points can be influenced by using
IBIS2XTK switches
-vt <val> voltage tolerance in Volts
-it <val> current tolerance in Amps
-ae <val> absolute error (0.0 < val < 1.0)

Exactly how these switches affect the output, and what the default
values are, does not seem to be documented anywhere. Anyone from
Viewlogic/Quad care to comment?
