[Spambayes] Question about disk accesses.

Hi all,
I have a question that is a bit deeper than anything I have seen on
the regular spambayes list, but I'll give it a shot.
I have been using SB for about 2 months now, and obviously it works
great. However, lately when I retrieve message, my system drops to a
crawl due to disk accesses.
I loaded up filemon (a disk access monitor utility) and logged the
activity when I go retrieve the latest messages from my mail server.
In the span of the 5 seconds it took to process my mail, there were
8000 disk access of the form at the bottom of this email.
so, my question is: Is this normal and my system is just slow on disk
accesses, or is this due to the size of my DBs, or ???
Here is break down on my system, version, config, etc.
Spambayes version 1.0a5.
Windows 2k.
PIII 700
IDE drives, 7.2k RPM, very large (100 gig+)
using the "pop3proxy.py -b" directly from a command line DOS box.
6500 spam, 4500 ham in DBs.
I stopped training, as I get almost 100% accurate results, and no
false positives.
Any help / advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Todd
