Yes. Optimizing the queries didn't help.

On a very large DB, we can still run into very very long queries (30-45 
minutes). In order to make this work we need to
1) not make the contacts DB that large (seems to be fixed, but doesn't help 
existing users)
2) be able to cancel queries (missing in virtuoso), or at least to time-limit 
them (missing in current virtuoso versions but seems to be coming?)
3) run queries in parallel rather than in sequence (nepomukqueryservice's 
design needs to be redone).

Yep :)

Trust me, 30 minutes with a stuck composer window is not something to look 
forward to ;)
