Conceptually you are right, but in practice, when you add a rule/query to the KBase all the available facts are propagated through the newly built piece of RETE. Since you clear all the rules first (which has some cost) and then you build a new set of rules, the effect is very similar - only, the engine will implicitly re-insert the objects for you. Now, a clean insertion has some costs (like the creation of the handles), so it would be interesting to benchmark the two alternatives.
>From a developer's perspective, moving the objects from a session into another is as simple as this: for ( Object o : oldSession.getObjects() ) { newSession.insert( o ); } and if you can't (re)compile the source code, there is little that can be done to solve your problem. Unless there is a multi-threading issue, that is, you have different threads adding facts, removing rules/queries and adding the new ones. If that was the case, I would not be surprised since 5.5 was not thread safe.
