🚀

The release of RDF4J 3.2.0 introduced a large number of performance improvements to the framework.

One major change was the introduction of a new Model implementation, the DynamicModel, and switching to this new model implementation throughout major parts of the code base. The advantage of the DynamicModel over other implementations is that it uses a very light-weight internal datastructure initially, only converting to a more heavily indexed form when necessary to answer particular queries. It can avoid this upgrade, however, for many use cases where we are adding or removing data, iterating over all data, or checking for the existence of a triple.
