Hey Anthony,

Answers:

  1. The BigFix Agent will evaluate all Fixlets, but it has lots of optimizations to skip all sorts of Fixlets that it knows won’t apply to it… For instance, it will ignore Fixlets targeted to different OSes, different languages, etc… And in general, it has lots of caching and optimizations so that it can speedily evaluate all the Fixlets rapidly.

  2. Yes.
