[rules-users] limits on number of rules in Guvnor in a package, loaded in knowledge base

[vadlam]

are there are any benchmarks around number of rules that can be created in a
package in Guvnor?

we run Guvnor 5.3.0.final in Guvnor on a windows server that has 1.4 GB heap
and we are seeing memory issues when the package has reached around 900
rules or so.

by memory issues, I mean that after the package is built successfully,
memory is not being released back. this behaviour is more obvious at such
high number of rules in package than when we had just around 600 rules or
so.

also, when we try to load the package generated (around 6.4 MB) into the
knowledgesession, it crashes the system .

are there any recommendations on

1. whether we can split up a package into two separate packages, and load
the 2 of them separately one after the other into the session ?

2. amount of memory that guvnor needs to build such high number of rules ?

3. ways to shrink  the number of rules as per some best practices while
still meeting requirements ?
