I don't think we are.  wordinfo, which I believe is the only BTree,  
is a OOBTree [token to (hamcount, spamcount)].  The ZODB storage is  
fairly rough, since I'm really only just learning how to properly use  
ZODB.  Would two OIBTrees (token to count) be more efficient than a  
single OOBTree?  (And do we care if it would be?)

Well, it could when someone has 4.3 billion ham or spam trained,  
right? ;)
