Hi Ivan,

I've hit a small problem with CONSTRUCT - when I use construct (instead
of select), they query seems to take forever, I waited about 10 mins and
then gave up.

This query returns 10 rows and returns instantly:

sparql
define input:storage
<http://terapath.net/adb/quad_storage/default>
Select *
      where { ?s ?p ?o } limit 10 

This query takes some amount of time, > 10 mins, I haven't waited long
enough to see it complete...  The computer's CPU stays at 100% usage
while I waited.. After 10 mins I restarted the service.

sparql
define input:storage
<http://terapath.net/adb/quad_storage/default>
construct { ?s ?p ?o }
      where { ?s ?p ?o } limit 10

There is quite a lot of data in the sql server database behind this quad
storage (1.8gb), is there some reason construct would take so much
longer? Perhaps the 'limit 10' gets ignored?

- Alex
