spx2 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

I was looking to getting data from a social network represented as a graph,
I finally found GraphViz module which was excellent,
You can see the graph representation I've been able to render so far here : Screenshots (you can click on it to magnify
but be sure no to crash your browser,the image has 6.4MB).
However,some problems regarding the running speeds frighten me (because of problems with
scalability.
I have just rendered a graph with 10000 nodes and 10000 edges(many isolated nodes)
and it took some 2-3 minutes .
But if I use the overlap=>'false' feature which GraphViz comes with it(I also use
radial layout)
Also the biggest problem is that when I run this with a test it will be
about 1000000 nodes with 100000000 edges.
So I am thinking if this would be feasible and also I can't find any good benchmarks on this
GraphViz module,does someone know any benchmarks of it anywhere ?
An implementation using ajax would also be possible I think...but I don't know javascript
very well.


Regards,
Stefan
