Comment(by jason):

 Most of the time delete is faster than add; that's why I set the factor so
 that if we want more than 5% of the vertices, it does delete.

 I think delete copies the graph, which doesn't *add* every edge, but
 probably just copies the edge dictionary, which should be *way* faster.

 The tests I was taking my data from was doing

 {{{
 sage: g=graphs.PathGraph(1000)
 }}}

 and then doing {{{g.subgraph(range(i)}}} using each of the algorithms.
 The breakeven point seemed to be between 50 and 100.  I also did this with
 the complete graph, and got similar results.
