Only by doing less training -- the more messages you train on, the larger
the database gets.  Well, if you're a motivated programmer, you could try
writing code to purge "low value" words, but that's an involved topic (which
is why you'd need to be "motivated" <wink>).

I'd guess that 10 megabytes is close to an average size for a spambayes
database, but it depends on how much training you do.
