Vineet and I will start working on a "triple store shootout" real soon
now (as soon as Piggy Bank 2.1.0 is released)
The results will hopefully be easily reproducible by others (on other
platforms/machine combinations) and easily comparable (I'm not a fan of
absolute performance evaluations, relative ones are much more useful,
IMO) and we'll make everything publicly available, hoping to help point
out weaknesses and strengths of the various triple stores.
(and to show us and our users where the scalability walls are and how to
route around them, especially with real life data).
