Only cost reduction or does it speed up the process as well(again)? have a vague memory it used to speed up the process in the distant past...

Speeds up process, does not reduce cost. +1 now in 1.8 is also equivalent to +3 in 1.7 in terms of effect on diplomacy.

Could you give some more details about the algorithm?

From what you're saying I'm understand something like this:
1. 15 DIP per 1 BT per month. So for a 4 BT vassal you'd wait 4 months and it would cost 60 DIP.
2. 1 Diplomatic reputation = 16 DIP per month (still 15 DIP per BT), 60 / 16 = 3,75 months?

Am I getting the principle right?

no... annexations are slower, we'll talk about it next week.

Thanks! So does this mean Austria's +5 DipRep has been decreased to +2(1.667) to keep it the same, or has Austria (and the Ideagroups with +DipRep) been boosted, compared to before? Meaning easier to pass reforms, getting alliances, diplo-vassalize etc ?

Old numbers have been tweaked, yes.
