[Spambayes] Spambayes 1.1a1 too many problems?

I'm particularly curious about whether 1.1a1 is slower than 1.0.x when
conditions are the same (e.g. the cache directories are the same).  But I'll
look into this:

[ 1182671 ] When cache directories are full, 1.1a1 starts slowly
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1182671&group_id=6
1702&atid=498103>

This too, although if anyone is able to come up with a reliable set of steps
to reproduce the problem, that would help.  (Particularly if it doesn't
involve simulating thousands of messages being classified as the only
example to date does! :)

I'll look into this, too.

Give me a few days and I'll see what I can come up with.  If I can't
reproduce either of these, I'll note that in the trackers, and then if you
(or Janusz) can add more information (I'll be specific about what I need)
that would be great.
