<br> Greg is in the right direction. When you have:<br><br>when<br> Pattern1()<br> Pattern2()<br>then<br> ...<br><br> Anytime Pattern1 change, Pattern2 beta constraints must be reevaluated. The problem in your case is that both patterns are accumulates, so they are heavier by themselves AND everytime the first one changes, the second must fully recalculate.<br>

As I understand it, the from keyword is not optimized in the way that it's output is not indexed. Therefore if the set of objects matched changes it must rerun. So when you have the two rules, "hardConstraintsBroken" is reevaluated when you change the hard constraints, and "softConstraintsBroken" is reevaluated when you change the soft constraints. When there's just the one rule, it's reevaluated when either the hard or soft constraints changed, but BOTH accumulate expressions are evaluated every time. Thus, 2x the evaluation time.<br>
