In the new version, it also seems to actually change the volume a lot more drastically (at least above 100%), which is a good thing.

It used to be a linear scale, which is a nonsense. Now it use a quadratic scale (faster to compute than a log and close enough)

No, but quadratic is faster and the result (here) is close enough to be good.
