Mark,
Just did a commit (revision 3974) improving perfomance a little bit.
On manners 64 we improved about 11,5%. What I did was:
* Improved Beta Memory indexing, removing the use of Iterators() when
not really necessary: +6%
* Improved Beta Memory indexing making methods and classes final when
possible: +2,5%
And finally, what I was saying to you about the impact the facts
itself have on the engine performance:
* Improved the bean classes used as facts for the manners test: +3%
Just to make clear, templates in Jess are instances of an internal
"something" that Jess has. Our facts are beans written by any user. So,
we are slower by nature on that part, but we are more flexible.
