[rules-users] Pooling stateful sessions to have threaded executions of a ruleset

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are talking about. In this
article, there is nothing about multithreaded rules evaluation. It just
says that the Phreak algorithm is designed for thread safety and
*future*multicore processors exploitation. It doesn't mean that it is
already
multithreaded. Moreover I tested my appliciation with and without
multithreaded sessions (I am using Drools 6.0.1.Final) and I noted a faster
execution in the multithreaded one.
