[quote]Hi,
we are trying to use Drools in our product.
There is one big problem with it: - it’s performance is completely unpredictable. If you run the engine, it can sometimes take 10 seconds, and sometimes 10 minutes to finish - for exactly some data.

If you’ve got a sample of that you should send it to the developers. We haven’t had any issue with the evaluation of rules taking different amount of times outside of the first run when janino is compiling our java semantic code into bytecode. After that, performance is constant if we send the same data through over and over and over agaain.
That’s already done in the CVS head as best I can tell. Are you using the version from CVS or the beta-17 binary distro?
