Apologies if this has cropped up already and been answered, or if it is a stupid question.

Does anyone know if the feeder processing engine has any way of knowing, when saving a rule, what feeders are already in place as specified by that rule, and thus how to optimise feeder setting by only creating new ones?

I guess not, because rules always seem to take the same time to save. Also, the time taken to read some kind of internal table of set feeders would I guess negate any speed benefit over and above just firing them all into place.

Thoughts anyone?

Regards, ian

Does the engine have any way of knowing? Sure, it could...but as you observed it clearly doesn't. I believe how long it takes is a function of how many cells are populated, not how many feeder statements exist or even how many cells trigger feeders.
