Has has there been any analysis on whether there is a *fundamental* 
reason for such performance difference?
Or is it simply a question of "maturity" - in other words, relational db 
technology has been around for a very long time and is very mature, 
whereas RDF implementations are still quite recent, so this gap will 
surely narrow ...?
