[rules-users] StatefulKnowledgeSession.dispose()

[Swindells, Thomas]

It's probably because dispose unregisters from various listeners and clears up some
housekeeping resources, timers etc. It's possible your rules are simple enough
that they don't need any of this and so not calling the listeners saves a significant
amount of time - particularly if your test case is overly trivial .

Whether it keeps working in any future versions I wouldn't want to guarantee you,
dispose may start nulling out fields etc that would break future calls to the methods.
