If your regular workstation was using more CPU, I guess it was because of 
swapping. Thanks for the statistics, it means a "commodity" CPU could handle 
this fine, the bottleneck is RAM. I wonder how expensive it is to buy a machine 
like yours... it sounds like in the $30K-$50K range?

I think a SPARQL command-line tool could exist, but AFAICT it doesn't exist 
(yet?). Anyway, I have already successfully setup Fuseki with a HDT backend, 
although my HDT files are all small. Feel free to drop me an email if you need 
any help setting up Fuseki.
