Just a suggestion: I tested webgraph for my purposes after meeting one of
the developers, and I can say that the memory usage is quite amazing (in a
good sense: very low).
However, at least 1 year ago, webgraph was unfit for dynamic graphs, so if
you plan to remove nodes and so on, I don't think it's the best choice.
