Attached is a gif of the distribution of spam scores you get with my 60,000
message test set.
Basically it generates a lot less "<=0" values and a lots more 1, 2 and 3
values to compensate. Once you get up to 5 or so, the differences between
the 2.53 and 2.54 are pretty minimal.

So you shouldn't hopefully need to adjust your threshold scores, unless you
use particularly low scores (<5).

Bear in mind that my test set is getting a bit old now, so these stats
won't include the much-improved results from spammers defeating 2.53 rules.

Hope that's some use to someone...
