Hi Roberto,
sorry that I need to disagree, but DBpedia is based on Virtuoso, which 
has a quad model, i.e. a SQL table with 4 columns.
The sparql query asks for all distinct values in the 3rd column and this 
is definitely doable seen from the SQL perspective.
I normally run those queries on a daily basis and I even did the 
following query via sparql and it needed around 100 seconds:
Select ?p count(?p) as ?count {?s ?p ?o } group by ?p order by DESC 
(?count)
Results are here on 3.5.1:
http://db0.aksw.org/downloads/propertyCount.csv.tar.gz
I did these measurements on a local mirror on one of our servers.

The problem is something else:
- the main store is limited to a result set size of 1000 and has a 
limited execution time
- getting a speedy answer depends on the traffic  other users produce
- currently there seems to be a bug causing an early transaction time out

The only way to really do statistical measurements is to set up a local 
mirror and let queries run against this.
Regards,
Sebastian
