[rules-users] Speed up inserting of rules into knowledge base

Part:
knowledgeBuilder.add(resource, ResourceType.DRL);
is the most expensive part of my source code - rest of instructions are 
nothing when you compare them to above line.

I cannot serialize the compiled rule packages because rules are 
generated from data read from database and this data isn't static. Data 
is generated before loading rules from files that user can change - so I 
have to do this:
1) read files (which could be changed by user since last JBoss startup)
2) process files and generate rows for database
3) get rows from database and generate rules for Drools

Rules aren't stored directly into database - I wasn't accurate in my 
previous e-mail. - sorry.
