I have experienced that the ground fill will not work if you don't have many
vias to ground plane from the ground fill. The typical distance of vias
shallbe lambda/20. Now, for the high speed nets, the ground fill may act
similar to a guard trace. I had done some simulations where there was only
one via on entire patch (grond fill). The noise on the ground plane was
really bad. It became better only after I put several vias to ground on the
ground fill. If you observe the interlayer noise (from simulations) in some
cross section that has power plane and ground fill, then you can put a
decoupling capacitor from the power plane to ground fill. This will improve
your power intergrity and also improve the EMI.
