 ## Layouting
 
 Layouting is performed and visualized in real time and in parallel.
 Currently all available layout algorithms are based on a spring model force-directed approach,
 and are variations of the classic Fruchterman-Reingold algorithm __[1]__.
+They are slow (improvements underway).
 Parameters and heuristics are hand-tuned and may require further adjustment
 for better results, or may warrant better approaches.
 Because the initial state is random, results are different every time,

 ## Known bugs
 
 Major bugs:
-- strawk leaks some small amount of memory and is much slower than it should be;
-awk wasn't meant to be used this way and a proper implementation will take a bit more effort
+- Layouting is slow and larger graphs show up as a ball at the center of the screen:
+this is the initial state for any of the layouting algorithms,
+but because it is shown in real time and the algorithms currently used being slow
+(improvements underway), the initial plot looks... underwhelming.
 
 Less major bugs:
+- strawk still uses too much memory and its language is very limited
 - Layouting currently doesn't place some of the nodes nicely;
 many plots look ugly by default but can be fixed by just moving the nodes around.
 - 3d navigation is a kludge on top of 2d navigation
