Re: RDF::Graph performance

Hello,

  Thank you for your suggestions!

  I am using RDF::Reader now, since it appeared the fastest option.

  It works well, but I had to substitute \' with just ' in my input. Not
sure what the RDF standard says about this -- I could not quickly find a
complete list of valid escape sequences.

Best wishes,

Kim
