Is the database macaron.db incremental and cacheable?

[jgsuess]

Given that macaron operations break into the distinct phases of collection and policy analysis, and that the artifact of importance is the macaron.db I am wondering if it is incremental and cacheable?

I.e. if I run collection (analyze) multiple times, will each run just add to an existing macaron.db? Can I hence cache the DB and run analysis only if I have new questions of the analysis?

Yes, definitely. You should cache the database, i.e., macaron.db, which allows you to run the policy engine with small performance overhead subsequently.
