[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBRULES-1056) Performance of RuleBase().addPackage(.) goes down on sub sequent instances of RuleBase with large number of packages.

Performance of RuleBase().addPackage(.) goes down on sub sequent instances of RuleBase with large number of packages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-1056 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1056 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Drl Parser/Builder Affects Versions: 4.0.0.GA Environment: Windows Reporter: Ming Jin Assigned To: Mark Proctor Attachments: testdrools.zip I encountered a strange behavior when trying to test the performance of rule registration, meaning to add Package's to a new instance of RuleBase. I ran the same test 5 times in a sequence, and the RuleBase instance was discarded right away. The test ran with different different number of packages, 20, 50, 100, and 200. The results are as the followings: Added 20 packages to rulebase in 0:00:0.15 Added 20 packages to rulebase in 0:00:0.21 Added 20 packages to rulebase in 0:00:0.21 Added 20 packages to rulebase in 0:00:0.301 Added 20 packages to rulebase in 0:00:0.18 Added 20 packages to rulebase 5 times in 0:00:1.051 Added 50 packages to rulebase in 0:00:0.17 Added 50 packages to rulebase in 0:00:1.422 Added 50 packages to rulebase in 0:00:1.252 Added 50 packages to rulebase in 0:00:1.322 Added 50 packages to rulebase in 0:00:1.331 Added 50 packages to rulebase 5 times in 0:00:5.497 Added 100 packages to rulebase in 0:00:0.19 Added 100 packages to rulebase in 0:00:5.278 Added 100 packages to rulebase in 0:00:5.297 Added 100 packages to rulebase in 0:00:5.228 Added 100 packages to rulebase in 0:00:5.327 Added 100 packages to rulebase 5 times in 0:00:21.32 Added 200 packages to rulebase in 0:00:0.22 Added 200 packages to rulebase in 0:00:21.691 Added 200 packages to rulebase in 0:00:21.481 Added 200 packages to rulebase in 0:00:21.642 Added 200 packages to rulebase in 0:00:21.341 Added 200 packages to rulebase 5 times in 0:01:26.385 As you can see, the timing of creating first RuleBase instance is always good, while the subsequent one's were very bad. Is there an attribute I could adjust in configuration to improve the performance for this scenario? Please advise if there is other alternatives. I would be glad to provide details if needed.
