[rules-users] Functionality/Performance Test Results

[Yang Song]

Hi, Robert,

I am very interested in the database access part, because I am also
considering to add the database access code into my rule. But my current
concern is the performance.

It would be very appreciated if can let me know how many times of database
access is in your whole test suite, which cost 6 seconds? Is it always
validating the same user or randomly picking different users to validate
--  if using the same query, database may get result cached which will
result a better performance? Did you add any arbitrary object caching in
your java code for performance optimization?

Thanks in advance,
Yang
