Import is very slow

[szarnyasg]

Hello!

I created a fork for this issue: https://github.com/szarnyasg/4Store-API
I installed 4store on a Debian 6 virtual machine with the install-4s.sh script in the scripts directory.
The sample RDF file from http://www.govtrack.us/data/rdf/bills.099.rdf.gz in the test directory.

I compared the import times using different tools.

Import from console:

~/4Store-API/scripts$ ./httpd-start.sh && time ./curl-bills.sh 
...
201 imported successfully
This is a 4store SPARQL server v1.1.5

real    0m0.665s
user    0m0.020s
sys 0m0.004s

Import from Java with the Sail API: TestSail.java contains a JUnit test function. The import takes about 12 seconds.

Import from Java with the Store class: TestStore.java contains a JUnit test function. The import takes about 344 seconds.

Are these times normal? If not, how can I reduce the import time from Java?

Thanks,
Gabor
