Hello Sniffer Folks, I have been doing some work in the database today to make the rule strength analysis and weak rule removal process more efficient. Along the way I discovered an appreciable number of rules that had somehow been left with high strength numbers even though their recent activity values were zero. I have corrected this code.
I expect that this will reduce the size of the rulebase files, though I am not yet certain how big the change will be. I am hopeful that the change will be large enough to yield a performance increase. There should be only positive impacts from the changes that I have made, but just in case I will be watching things very closely. Please let me know right away if you sense any drastic changes other than, perhaps, the size of the rulebase files. I've made arrangements to put everything back the way it was if need be ;-) Thanks, _M Pete McNeil (Madscientist) President, MicroNeil Research Corporation Chief SortMonster (www.sortmonster.com) This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
