    this was discussed in detail (several times) on the dspam mailing list -
    search the archives: 'http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/search.shtml'.

    you can extremely cut down your db size using different methods...which
    training method you are currently using? - once dspam is "mature" enough
    (training wise) it is (for example) a good idea to switch to TOE mode
    (train on error) if your user base is large - your db shrinks and the
    performance gain is big.
