Properties on nodes/relationships are stored as a non-indexed linked list on disk so if you're accessing one property on a node/relationship neo4j has to load that chain (i.e. all properties, not necessarily their values though) for that node/relationship if it hasn't already done that (i.e. if its properties are already in cache or not).
