OK, it had crashed again in the past half day ...

I tried that, but it times out on the SPARQL end point too... in both
cases it timed out on:

SELECT DISTINCT ?property
WHERE { [] ?property [] }
ORDER BY ?property

Just to remove some possible source of more time needed, I removed the
ORDER BY... then it runs fine in both cases!

That surprises me, because there are only 50 ?property values... it
sounds as if the ordering is not done on the result list, but before
the applying the DISTINCT? Is that possible? Seriously, I have no
knowledge of how tools actually perform a query, and maybe this SPARQL
is just not right...

Anyway, I removed the ORDER BY from the SNORQL code, so that when
people click "Properties" they get an unsorted list, but at least not
a time out... getting all properties is normally one of the first
things I run on a SPARQL end point, just to get a feeling of the data
that is there... the classes won't help in my case, because each and
every chemical structure is modeled as a class...

Thanks for your pointers! I'm happy that this works. I'm hoping this
will also reduce the stress on the system a bit... still, with a
public SPARQL end point, I'm impressed to see VOS behave so stable,
even though VOS6 was (I had to restart that really just a few times on
the course of two years) more stable...

Egon
