    My understanding is that the FB that's on AWS is just a dump file,  
not a database w/ indexes.  It saves you a few pennies of bandwidth in 
downloading,  but not the time of building an index.

    A little bird told me that somebody is working on an AMI that will 
contain the linked data version on FB loaded into a rather good triple 
store.  That could be a good option for some people.
