I think its a useful idea worth further exploration.
Of course, one needs to have a multi core dev machine to start properly ;)
Or hyperthreading at least (is that still around??).
Perhaps with rule flow, the "parallel potential" can be made declaraively,
by specifying that certain modules are concurrent in mode, versus ones that
cannot be.

In drools there is no longer a single agenda, there are AgendaGroups
with MAIN acting as the default. I've been thinking that it might be
useful to have named Threads too - so you can specify a thread for the
AgendaGroup to execute in. This would allow an AgendaGroup to execute
its rules in parallel with other, and thus the MAIN, thread - however
fact assert, retract and modify will remain a single thread for now -
so there could be race conditions between different threads fighting
for the next working memory action. But this can still be useful, I
think, especially for cases where you have rules with no side effects.
