The re-distribution is probably happening as rapidly as possible. I don't know what the inflation rate is these days, but it's probably between 300% to 400%, which is far above the 100% target. The only way it can happen faster is probably if whales started transferring VESTS directly to authors when they voted, in addition to the generated VESTS/SBDS, but that is obviously a far-fetched suggestion. Another way would be to change the proportion of SBDs to VESTS rewarded, making it much more skewed towards VESTS, but that may upset some people and also destabilize the value of SBDs.
In short, I guess the developers are doing as well as they can to re-distribute vesting and create a new middle class.
The next update is coming first week September. I know, this is longer than usual, but this one will have much more data than just SP distribution. :)
Thanks for the comment. I also have a few far-fetched suggestions, but think we should just wait and see what happens in the future. It is the weirdest thing, I haven't been on the platform for that long. Maybe one-and-a-half-months, but it feels like I have been here for a very long time, hence wanting to speed things up :) I know it won't work though ... I just want it to :)
Eagerly awaiting your next publication on the stats.
