Graph too big to fit in memory

[Youssef Eldakar <youssefeldakar AT gmail.com>]

Dear GraphStream,

We have an app that uses GraphStream to render a graph of a web crawl.
The data is getting too big beyond the amount of RAM that may be
available even on a high-end box.

The way the app works, the viewport is zoomed in to where the current
insertion happens and keeps panning to maintain current insertions in
focus, which means much of the graph may possibly be swapped to disk
while it is off-view, however, given the nature of the web crawl,
insertions happen at random locations in the graph.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to best handle this?

Thanks in advance.
