As I said earlier It *may* or *may not* be relevant in your case. Usually
caching improves performance significantly in drools.
In case of our application it does so by a very significant factor.

Hmmm, so you are suggesting I keep caches all possible combinations
of
KnowledgePackages? If I have 100 possible KnowledgePackages and they are
loaded and unloaded dynamically that means I will have to have 100 choose n
where n goes from 1 to 100. That will make me go out of memory easy no?
Thanks.

It may look something like this:
Map *knowledgeBaseCacheMap* = new HashMap();
this.knowledgeBase = knowledgeBaseCacheMap.get("<SOME_IDENTIFIER>");
if(this.knowledgeBase == null){
this.knowledgeBase.addKnowledgePackages(packages);
*knowledgeBaseCacheMap.put("<SOME_IDENTIFIER>", this.knowledgeBase)*
}
By doing this the packages get added to the knowledgeBase only for the
first time. From second request onwards you get the same knowledgeBase each
time without the need for adding the packages again.
But this is valid only if you are not changing your rules. If your rules
are changing from time to time, you may have to look at caching at more
lower levels.
I am not sure whether this can be helpful in your case but this is often
helpful.
