Maybe. But you have to regularly back it up and restore it once you reboot or 
lose tmpfs for other reasons. I would think you are better off with moving to 
SQL. How big is the database at the moment? What's the data of 
"sa-learn --dump magic"?
Have you determined *that* it is Bayes that is creating your asserted 
permonance problem?
