BRAM not meeting timing

How one would go about getting this AXI BRAM module to meet timing? It seems that the biggest delay is inside AXI protocol routing that belongs to the IP core, so I can really touch inside that. It should run at 5ns = 200MHz, which is well below the maximum rate of BRAM, as I understand it.

Thanks!

I did not undestand where is the problem in your design, because the details you gave is not enough, I belive. But, since this is the intra-clock path problem, the solution (most of the time) is adding pipeline register. Xilinx IP cores have this option where required.
