Nodes with many relationships

Imagine that there's a node NN with many relationships called B..Z.

And NN has one relationship A.

If I were to cypher:

MATCH(nn:NN_TYPE) where ...
MATCH(nn)-[:A]->(m)
RETURN m

Would this query be unduly slowed down by the multitude of other relations on NN?

Do you mean that nn has relationships of many different types, but only one of type A? (By the way, nodes do not have "types" -- they have "labels".) - cybersam

No it wouldn't the relationships are stored separately on disk and also in memory.

So it would only load the type :A in your case not the :B ones.
