Question
How can I perform this query much faster? (more RAM, refactor query, distributed cache, use another language/shell/method, ...)
UPD:
Profile info for last query in answer
neo4j-sh (?)$ profile match (:Page {Name:'Dashboard.aspx'})<-[:At]-()-[:Next]->()-[:At]->(p)
with p,count(*) as count
order by count desc

As I mentioned before, in your other question, if you can write a Java based server extension you can do it pretty easily.
// initialize counters
Map<Node,AtomicInteger> pageCounts = new HashMap<>(300);
for (Node page : graphDb.findNode(Page)) pageCounts.put(page,new AtomicInteger());
// find start page
Label Page = DynamicLabel.label("Page");
Node page = graphDB.findNode(Page,"Name",pageName).iterator().next();
// follow page-view relationships
for (Relationship at : page.getRelationships(At, INCOMING)) {
// follow singular next relationship
Relationship at2 = at.getStartNode().getSingleRelationship(Next,OUTGOING);
if (at2==null) continue;
// follow singular page-view relationship to end-page
Node page2 = at2.getSingleRelationship(At,OUTGOING).getEndNode();
// increment counter
pageCounts.get(page2).incrementAndGet();
}
// sort pages by count descending
List pages = new ArrayList(pageCounts.entrySet())
Collections.sort(pages,new Comparator<Map.Entry<Node,Integer>>() {
public int compare(Map.Entry<Node,Integer> e1, Map.Entry<Node,Integer> e2) {
return - Integer.compare(e1.getValue(),e2.getValue());
}
});
// return top 10
return pages.subList(0,10);
For Cypher I would try something like this:
match (:Page {Name:'#########.aspx'})<-[:At]-(pv:PageView)
WITH distinct pv
MATCH (pv)-[:Next]->(pv2:PageView)
with distinct pv2
match (pv2)-[:At]->(p:Page)
return p.Name,count(*) as count
order by count desc
limit 10;
Update
I wrote a test for it and ran it on my bigger linux machine, the results there are much more sensible: between 1.6s in Java and 5s max in Cypher.
Here is the code and the results: https://gist.github.com/jexp/94f75ddb849f8c41c97c
In Cypher:
-------------------
match (:Page {Name:'Page1'})<-[:At]-()-[:Next]->()-[:At]->(p)
return p.Name,count(*) as count
order by count desc
limit 10;
+-------------------+
| p.Name | count |
+-------------------+
| "Page169" | 975 |
| "Page125" | 959 |
| "Page106" | 955 |
| "Page274" | 951 |
| "Page176" | 947 |
| "Page241" | 944 |
| "Page30" | 942 |
| "Page44" | 938 |
| "Page1" | 938 |
| "Page118" | 938 |

Something you can also do to speed up your Cypher query, is to only aggregate on the nodes, and only return the page.Name property for the last 10 rows, much faster.
match (:Page {Name:'Page1'})<-[:At]-()-[:Next]->()-[:At]->(p)
with p,count(*) as count
order by count desc
limit 10 return p.Name, count
