Graph DB OOMing 101. Can it do Erdős/Bacon numbers?

Graph DBs have been plagued with exploding complexity of queries as doing things like allowing recursion or counting paths isn't as trivial as it may sound. Do you have benchmarks and comparisons against other engines and query languages?

No, we are in the process of writing up some proper benchmarks. Our first user used us to build MuskMap and TrumpMap, which went viral on twitter. Not sure how it compared to other graph DBs at the time (bear in mind this was v1 and very bear bones), but it got latency of using Postgres >5s down to 50ms with us.
