This is nice but it misses what's fundamentally special about "real" graph databases - the way they store data.
Native graph databases like Neo4J use index-free adjacency. This means query durations are proportional to the amount of the graph searched, -not- the size of the data stored.

For large graphs, or deeply recursive queries, you need a native graph database to get reasonable performance.
