Don't use -filter "NAME = ". It is inefficient

[Solamar]

It is inefficient to use a -filter [NAME=xxx] for the tcl commands.
Since the object name is part of the get_xxx command line, it is much more efficient to use:
get_cells xxx
This allows Vivado to get only the objects that match, not all objects in the device.

An example of poor coding is in XilinxTclStore / tclapp / xilinx / designutils / report_hier_util.tcl on line 41:
Rather than:
set childList [get_cells -quiet -hierarchical -filter "NAME =~ $hierCell/* && IS_PRIMITIVE"]
use:
set childList [get_cells -quiet -hierarchical $hierCell/* -filter "IS_PRIMITIVE"]

This is especially obvious in things like get_sites, get_bels, etc. For example:

get_bels -filter [NAME = Tilename/Site_]
will get ALL bels in the device, then filter based on the request.
but
get_bels Tilename/Site_
will ONLY look at the bels in the specified Tilename. This is much faster.
