Description

[(chain ?a ?attr1 ?attr2 ?b)
[?a ?attr1 ?i0
?i0 ?attr2 ?b]]

I have a query that can use this rule 4 times but for which I currently manually expands every potential call.

Execution time when used:
0 rules 4 expands: ~hundred ms
1 rule 3 expands: ~hundred ms
2 rules 2 expands: ~90s
3 rules 1 expand ; JVM OOP

Any idea of what could cause that?

(datascript 0.15.0)

Research direction

Start with the rule and query shown in the issue and reproduce the timing on DataScript 0.15.0, comparing manual expansion with nested rule use. Trace the query execution path to determine why two rules take about 90 seconds and three cause a JVM out-of-memory condition; done means the regression or bottleneck is identified and a verified performance improvement is demonstrated.
