Periodically, a benchmark executing the first 100 example queries in Wikidata is performed on both Wikidata Query Service and Semantic Builders.
Here are the result on Sun, Mar 19, 2023 12:00 AM...
A full Wikidata instance is up for you: less concurrent traffic, more of your queries to be crunched!
As Wikidata receives tons of requests and limit the execution time of queries, sometime it fails to manage all of them.
