My understanding so far is that OrientDB has two type of Edges. Regular and 
Lightweight. The regular provides more flexibility and functionality at the 
cost of additional storage and performance. Its also my understanding that 
the lightweight edge is by default turned off with orientdb which makes it 
seem as though regular edges is the preferred over lightweight.  

So my questions are:
1. Is the difference in performance and/or storage significant with 
standard edges vs lightweight? If so, is it only affected in large 
databases? If so, what is considered Large? 
2. The documentation states that Lightweight edges are hard to work with? 
If you agree, is it so difficult that you would question using them instead 
of regular edges?
3. Which do you prefer? In what situation would you switch to using the 
alternate edge to your preference?
