I do not have any specific evidence.  I simply meant that SPARQL server
developers probably did not have thousands of "FROM NAMED" clauses in
mind as their primary design target, so you could run into unforeseen
difficulties.  If some SPARQL servers do handle this well, or if someone
has made such measurements, it would be great to hear about them.
