Graph construction performance

[zzdoug]

Hi, I read your blog post about benchmarking graph network packages; nice work. Have you run any tests on performance of building out a graph, node by node, or do you know of any? thanks

Hi Doug, no I do not know of such a benchmark. I would think most functions to add node / add edges would just be creating new dictionary entries anyway so there should not be too much difference.

Packages which require nodes to be integers rather than arbitrary strings will also be faster e.g. graph-tools or lightgraph
