Hello, I just worked on a drools project with many thousands rules (100k). The project is now in production. the issues are : 1) Guvnor needs more that 2.5GB Ram => Go to 64 bits java (we have 5GB heap) 2) Building the binary on guvnor on a virtual environment takes a few minutes (4 minutes in our case) 3) For the runtime, the rulebase to build is less then 1 minute when getting the rulebase from guvnor 4) We are using decision tables updated from remote, so to view them the only way is to download via rest the decision table xml et edit it. 5) Performance are excellent, for one session execution, it takes 250 ms to apply 300 rules again in a virtual environement. I would like to know which JIRA is related to the issues in guvnor when there are many lines ?
