title: Very large graphs with d3 force layout
body: <p>I'm trying to support large graphs (50k-200k nodes). D3 force layout is extremely slow with its "tick" operation. Each tick take a few seconds.
  I wonder if one these is possible:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Splitting the loading (doing for example 10 ticks, draw and after that do the rest one at the time)</li>
  <li>Handling only with the "heavy nodes" and just throw their neighbors to somewhere close.</li>
  <li>Running something similar to d3 forcelayout at the server and just send the UI the final positions</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
