Caching in PowerLoom

Hi there,

we use a PowerLoom factbase (~ 500,000 facts and about 30 rules) to =

represent the structure of a software system and to do analysis on the =

system. In some application scenario, we have to execute the same set of =

queries over and over again but the factbase changes slightly between =

each execution (single facts are retracted and asserted). What we =

observe is that every execution takes about the same time as the =

previous one although large parts of the factbase do not change.

My question is whether PowerLoom applies any kind of caching mechanism, =

incremental querying, or similar, to speed up execution, or if anything =

like this can be enabled.

Thanks and cheers
Sebastian
