I've discussed it with Alex a bit but one of my next ideas for the
Rules QA process is the following:

- we measure and report on metrics for the rules that are promoted
such as rank (existing), computational expense, time spent on rule.

I assume meta rules would combine the expense of their components?

Sounds interesting!


How about if one or more components were called more by more than one
meta-rule? It's perhaps not entirely fair to divide it evenly, since
that might imply that removing the metarule would kill off that CPU
usage.
Without triple checking the code, my 99.9% belief is Rules are cached.
Calling them multiple times does not trigger a re-check.

duplicate rules only get loaded once, it "only" costs time/cpu cycles so the fewer duplicates we have the faster we start a spamd or load rules when running spamasassin.

see begimning of output when during "spamassassin --lint -D rules"


Hi list,

I hope I triggered a constructive and useful discussion here.
In between I realized my data was skewed and I wanted to apologize for that.
The peak in load happened when I rolled out the rule-set which was running fine on one machine to the whole cluster of 4. I immediately blamed it on the upstream changes (sa-update) which I recklessly incorporated last minute. It turns out that I would have run into the same problems with the thoroughly tested ruleset without the updates. The reason is that the load-balancing used in this scenario is dynamic and not round-robin as I assumed, so the other servers took the load of the one being tested :(

That being said, it would obviously be a great improvement if I could assess the impact of a specific ruleset before I start using it on live data (~40M/d).
