A few months ago, we identified a major performance degradation issue
with Longwell and we fixed it (basically one way of querying the triple
store with another).

Unfortunately, the two queries are not idempotent in all situations and
this resulted in a seriously broken Longwell functionality. Mark
Wilkinson unfortunately ran into this problem.

I've spent the entire day to find where the problem (performing binary
search backtracking on all the longwell revisions to understand what
broke it) was and fixed it in the latest Longwell trunk in svn.

Please do an 'svn update' to get the latest fixes and perform a 'mvn
clean' before running './longwell' again.

There is still a major issue in longwell about facets that are mostly
numeric but have some intrusive non-numeric values (such as Mark's
dataset that he gave me access to) that end up completely empty and
without any warning. We've been hit by that before and we'll fix it real
soon.

Hope this helps.
