There are a lot of variables involved in performance benchmarking. Your
scenario is common in many industries, such as insurance, that utilise large
decision tables.<br>
<br>
We have previously published benchmarks comparing various rules engines at <a
href="http://illation.com.au/benchmarks" target="_blank">http://illation.com.au/benchmarks</a>,
however they don't specifically address the use case of large rulesets, but
instead stress various aspects of the rules engines.<br>
<br>
We are working to put together a new set of benchmarks that will better test
typical use cases, and we'd welcome your comments and participation. We are
very early in this process, and should have a publically available 'blog to
discuss the topic.<br>

All , <br>
<br>
I am not sure if this question is asked previously but it would be great if any
one can put some lights on this ..<br>
<br>
If i have 10,000 rules with same priority or equal priority then how drools
engine evaluate them or what is the path it chooses.<br>
<br>
Also if there any performance metrics available ,please point to the links.<br>

Thanks and Regards,<br>
