voteToHalt vs removeVertexRequest

Hi,

Because of my algorithm I am able to detect when a vertex won't be used
anymore, what would be more accurate : voteToHalt or removeVertex.

I imagine that removing the vertexes I can free some memory and although it
have some cost in execution time that is not a big deal as the graph is
smaller each time. Am I right?

Regards,

Liannet

Pretty much.  But when you remove the vertex, you won't be able to dump 
its output (not that all applications need to).
