We have a SpamAssassin installation with a single bayes database for all 
   our mailboxes (a couple thousand).

I think that the "bayes_toks" file has the expected size (around 8MB), 
but the "bayes_seen" file seems too big to me: around 340MB!
Is this size normal?
Doesn't such a dimension slow down the queries?


Here is our "local.cf" content:

use_bayes 1
bayes_path /var/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_use_hapaxes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_learn_to_journal 1
bayes_journal_max_size 1000000
bayes_expiry_max_db_size 250000


Here is the "sa-learn --dump magic" output:
