Ernest, >From my experience debugging some jess code, I noticed that a NumberFormatException is thrown on a somwhat regular basis during parsing. I assume that some part of the parser is checking to see if a symbol is a number or not in order to determine RU.XXX types.
Do you know how much, or if at all, this exception slows down parsing? From what I have read about exceptions is that they can significantly slow execution of a program but this may be old news (hotspot?) or just a bad rumor. Given that it is only thrown during parsing it shouldn't amount to much percentage-wise of a typical jess program so I am not really concerned - just curious. Have you done any profiling in this area?
