You may be on to something there. I output the expire run to a file and
check it from time to time and it never takes more than a minute to
finish, big difference from your 7-8. I remember setting one of my
servers to twice a day since it took more than a minute on that one.

Another thing, when you run the same Bayes DB for a long time the
bayes_seen gets insanely large, the expire doesn't touch it or..?
