What are these reasonably performant implementations? Have you tried them with a billion edges?

Also, if your data store is "fast in practice" but has worst cases that are PSPACE-complete, how do you prevent worst-case queries from DOSing it?

Well, I'm a vendor in the space so I like my implementation: http://stardog.com/ -- and yes we've "tried it" with 10s of billions of edges.

Worst cases are prevented from DOSing by having query management features like auto-killing queries that run too long, etc.
