Looks like it.

I now did a rough benchmark on fully connected graphs with 25 and 50 nodes. 
Data.Graph.Inductive used 28MB and 365MB respectively (x13 increase) compared 
to Data.Graph's 486KB and 2MB (x4). And Data.Graph seems to be much faster 
(basic operations up to 200 times), although it might be related to GC.
