Just to let people know, I've worked around this by only creating one SessionConfig object and caching it i.e "StatelessKnowledgeSession ksession = kbase.newStatelessKnowledgeSession((KnowledgeSessionConfiguration)getSessionConfig());". 

What seemed to be happening was ChainedProperties was trying Classloader lookups that were very slow when running in an OSGi environment.

Also with how the OSGi bundles are built the org.drools package is split and it makes it difficult to load up certain classes. I ended up having to use reflection to load up the SessionConfiguration class from a specific bundle. Maybe it's to do with how I'm importing the drools bundles into my project but it's one to watch out for if your using drools with OSGi.

Thanks,
Dave

ChainedProperties lives in org.drools.util.ChainedProperties and is created in SessionConfiguration(). The call is called during StatelessKnowledgeSession ksession = kbase.newStatelessKnowledgeSession();.

Can't you avoid using ChainedProperties, what is it? Can you send
piece of code where you create session?
