We are building a system to deliver audio objects to museum visitors. Imagine more than one visitor sends request to the system. Different rules have different saliences. Let rules A, B, C that assign rates to audio objects have a higher salience than rule Z that sums these rates for every audio object. Imagine for visitor x rules A, B and C fired. But it should wait for rules A, B, and C to finish work for visitor y as well, before summation (rule Z) can happen for visitor x. Therfore, when there are more than one visitor in the museum and they make a request at the same time, all computations wait for each other to finish before audio delivery to a visitor takes place. Therefore the delivery happens at the same time for all visitors and this is a burden to performance.
