[rules-issues] Issue with Drools 3.0

Hi We are using Drools 3.0 in our project and facing some issues with the way it works. We have lets say 3 rules in our drools file with different salience values and LHS (IF criteria). When we run the rules for a fact, the Rules Engine first asserts all the 3 rules irrespective of the salience value. Once the assertion is done the Rules Engine runs the appropriate rule according to salience. Assuming that we had 10-20 rules in our drools file the Engine would have asserted all of them for all the facts and then executed the appropriate rules. But this whole process would consume a lot of processing time. Could the Rule Engine take care of the salience feature while Asserting the Rules and stop when evaluation of LHS (IF criteria) for a Rule is TRUE. This way it can save some CPU cycles. thanks Naveen Gauba
