## Critical Insight: Graph Manager Need

At 10x scale, **relationship queries consume 40-60% of total time** (217-242ms out of 362-382ms).

**Current Implementation:** Simple dictionary lookups
- Linear scan through all relationships
- No indexing
- No query optimization

**With Graph Manager:**
- Indexed adjacency lists: **O(degree)** instead of O(n)
- Expected speedup: **10-100x** for relationship queries
- Would reduce total time from ~380ms to ~150-200ms
- **Graph Manager is ESSENTIAL for production** 🎯

**Recommendation:** Implement `XWGraphManager` with:
1. Indexed edge storage
2. Bidirectional indexes
3. Edge type indexes
4. Query caching
5. Batch operations
