While Kowari had initially faster loading times than other databases, it quickly ran into memory problems before we'd managed to load our entire dataset. We also encountered problems with database corruption and management issues (e.g. taking regular backups). We ended up using a relationally backed store as we got the benefits of a stable backend (management tools, replication, backup, etc) with the RDF model.
