Description

Describe the problem
Ansible topology uses force layout in a web worker to determine node positions prior to creating the model. It has been found to perform better than the force layout in PF topology.

Let's see if this can be used within a PF topology Layout and if it helps performance.

Expected output
A POC using a web worker based Layout with performance comparisons, or a reason why it cannot be done.
