It's a bit too bad that the network visualisation relies on d3: it is really slow with big networks, and the force directed algorithm is far from the best. Have you tried using JS libraries built specifically to visualise graph networks such as Sigma.js, Vivagraph or Cytoscape?

Shameless plug: if OP is looking to stay on d3, he could also try slotting in my C++/WASM versions[1] of the main d3 many-body forces. Not the best, but I've found >3x speedup using these for periplus.app :)
