But I meant that even though the expire run is successful I think that
the bayes_seen file is growing too large. Is it reasonable to have a
bayes_toks file of 5 MB and a bayes_seen file of 82 MB? The below is
from a system that has not been running for that long, these are the
only files, no expire files and it works well. I have seen bayes_seen
files with 300-500 MB, does it have to dig through it every time?
