    Interesting question. The documentation or a look into the log files should give you a quick answer.

    expressions_details.csv has Mean Total Time but expressions_summary.csv also has Mean Rule Time, so what should be the correct answer?

    Only "expressions_details.csv" contains the name of the expression. So I would go with this.

    Looks like a question straight out of Appian certification. 
    You should be able to find your answer here - https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.1/Logging.html#expressions-performance-logs
    It is either expressions_summary.csv or expressions_details.csv

    More accurately "expression_summary.csv" is the main file where you will get the mean evaluation time of the rule. This file will be visible in this directory - "APPIAN_HOME/logs/perflogs".

    If you want to know the mean evaluation time of a particular rule or a function then go for the "expressions_details.csv" and if you want to know the summary of the whole environment as per the date only then you can go with the "expressions_summary.csv". 
    Just download both the CSV files from "APPIAN_HOME/logs/perflogs" directory, you will be clear with the doubts.
