Hello,
Yes, when running drools, the cpu usages goes high.
It is one of the main caracteristic with rule engine : the more cpu you have the quickler it is !!
It is normal because all the rete graph & Co are in ram and drools work on it.
So there is not wait for database, IO and co so CPU goes very high very quicly but is is normal !
All my customers have this surprise : a 4 CPU machine instead one one makes it able to have 4 concurrent drools sessions to work in parallele with the same performance as one session on one CPU  !

The figures you gave just indicate that you have a good balance between I/O
and CPU load. The increase between "no rules" and "~60 rules" is to be expected
as all the work is being done during fact insertion. Of course, adding more and
more rules will, eventually, push the CPU load factor to the natural upper limit.

If the overall throughput is good, why do you worry?

Hello
My app is functioning consumer/producer model.
1.Producer reads the data from DB and inserts to blocking queue
2.Consumer reads the data from queue and execute the rules using drools
stateless session.
Both producer and consumer run asynchronously.

in my testing I found the following

1. for 1000 facts at a time and no rules in drl, cpu usage is maintained at
25-30% in my PC(Intel core 2 CPU,2.13 GH,2G RAM)  - with no rules in drl, Is
this cpu usage  acceptable?
2. for 1000 facts at a time and ~60 rules in drl, cpu usage is maintained at
50-60% on the same PC.
3. If I have 1 sec wait between each execution of rules in consumer, then
cpu usage is maintained < 5%

high CPU usage is being big concern to me. Is this expected while using
drools? Do others see same cpu usage too?  Please share your thoughts.
appreciate your input.

Thanks
