How fast are all the different Neo4j API operations?
Characteristics are • constant time for add/remove/get property and create/delete/get node or relationship • linear time for getting relationships on a node. Speed will be very much dependent on hardware and also on graph type. Using todays standard hardware should result in 1000-3000 traversals or property gets per ms (reads) and about 10-100 inserts/updates per ms (writes). Modifying transactions comes with a lot of overhead, so when performing few operations in each transaction your write speed will drop dramatically and be linked to how fast your storage media is at performing flush operations.
