[rules-users] Drools-Fusion: Problem with loading data

Rule  "rule_suspiciousTransactionInDifferentsPOSOfSameCustomer" in
combination with many POS and many Customer facts is an anti-pattern. The
rule starts looking for POS facts: you insert plenty. Then, it looks for
Customers: you insert a bundle. And so it combines the first POS with all
Customers, the second POS with all Customers,... and so on, and on and on.

Start with an Event, match another Event close to the first one, and *then
pull in the suspects. *(The other way round isn't popular in real life
either ;-) )
