Just one, declared as a static variable.
That wastes, whatever the KB takes, for the remaining duration of the program
execution. After you have taken the compiled packages from the KB and
checked for errors, the KB has done his duty the KB can go :-)

Not sure what you mean there, is it
this: http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.0.1.26597.FINAL/drools-exp...
if so, yes, i've tried it and noticed no difference at all, was i supposed
to?
For the application that just does the load part (reading the KPs from
an input stream), yes: that
should reduce memory usage.
It certainly does not, if your KB is static, and you compile and load
in the same program,
just serializing and deserializing in between.
