Is it me or are votes going through faster now?

I tried to look for an update on that but couldn't find one. Is this a hidden feature we didn't hear in the Hive account@steemitblog announcement or in Hive account@blueorgy 's post about the Curation/Blogging Rewards?

I'm not complaining, I just think its awesome and was wondering what changed.

Great job Steemit-team so far!
