Thanks Anthony. That's just what I was looking for.
A couple of interesting data points from learning on my corpus which
contains 90,000 ham and 200 spam messages. The spambox just got
cleaned out unfortunately, but just as unfortunate, I'll have a couple
of thousand in a week or two so training will be quick:
bogofilter took 52 minutes to build:
-rw-r--r-- 1 wohler users 73723904 2003-03-18 08:46 goodlist.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 wohler users 581632 2003-03-18 08:46 spamlist.db
spamprobe took 297 minutes to build:
-rw------- 1 wohler users 484311040 2003-03-17 22:36 sp_words
sa-learn (--no-build on each folder followed by a single --rebuild)
took 154 minutes to build:

In addition to your observations, bogofilter also wins on the space
and time angles..
