Hey Jan, this is really great I'll have a look at it properly later. A couple of quick questions:
1) How much data is there on each node/edge? 2) What was the memory setup for both DBs? As Neo wants to load everything into memory your 1.2 million nodes and 3 million relationships will put a strain on your 4Gb box. 3) Can we see the Neo configuration? 4) Why do you say Neo was bigger on disk (looks smaller in table)? 5) What protocol were you using to talk to Neo? I guess it is "obvious" that using the API will always be a little faster than using the interpreted CYPHER statements (because of the nature of the product), but maybe you could share what the Cypher query was and what you replaced it with?
