What I am wondering from this example is whether running 40 Rete rule
engines on a single machine will generally get you into trouble.  I am
actually used to running in a memory rich environment so I don't really
know the overhead of rule engines.  (Ignoring overhead, you have  13MB per
rule engine, 130KB per fact.  But I suspect that some of the overhead
depends on the rules and  how many partial matches you have per  rule?)

I am also wondering if you are using more than one jvm because jvm's
traditionally also have significant overhead.
