DBPedia is always so slow. I clicked a couple of links in this new browser
and the page I ended up at was just hanging. As we add more data to the
semantic web the number of links between resources is going to scale
exponentially. I wonder if that scaling is going to be faster than the
availability of cheaper, faster computers. It is a deluge of data. Can
DBPedia/semantic web be more than an academic idea?
