You have noticed the changes in the mapping of alliance networks.

At a minimal zoom on the FullHD monitor, you can see the entire network in width.

Now the network is drawn faster.

I assume that by network you mean universe.
It's good that it draws faster now, but it was not so good to loose our view settings.
Some players even thought that they lost their galaxy map:(
Is drawing faster at all zoom levels or only at 0%?
I assume code change had nothing to do with zoom...
