Oops, sorry for the late reply, I had issues with my account (and my posts being flagged as spam) and have been able to log back just a yesterday.
From my experience, it does not matter how early you do that:
false & [long relevance here]
does not perform any faster than
[long relevance] & false
due to the client evaluating all of the relevance clauses.
This is especially true for superseded fixlets: one of the first relevances is false (since they’re not useful anymore) yet they are taking very long evaluation times on our clients (a shame)
Hi
You’re right: I re-did my tests and truly,
false & [long relevance]
is indeed faster than
[long relevance]
Now I’m wondering… my findings were (I think) true some time ago, when we were running Bigfix 8.2… now we are on 9.2 and I can confirm the above…
someone still on 8.x can make a similar test?
