[rules-users] Reading DRL file with large number of rules

[Swindells, Thomas]

But isn't the way Rete work is that it creates a decision tree to work out which rules to evaluate.  Right at the top of the tree will be a check on the fact type that is being inserted, as the fact being inserted doesn't match against any of the 20k rules (it is a totally different object type) the evaluation will finish immediately with no further rule evaluations.
