It doesn't at all, GEOS graphs not being exposed to the C-API.
Would be an interesting project to expose them.
Probably the interfaces of those classes would also need to be
extended to allow for computing all the ISO relations.

The "graph" for postgis topology only exists on the database, with
no corresponding in-memory representation. So all changes happen
on disk, with the obvious overhead.
