My 6yr old Dell PE Win2k Server SP4 production box with 733 PIII x2 and 1GB 
PC133 ram with 5.8.8 Perl and ASSP 1.2.7(36), runs rebuildspamdb in ~50 
minutes.  We have 20,000 files in both the spam and not-spam folders each 
with about 100MB of email.  Our maxbyes is 8k and the emails fluctuate 
between 2k and 8k in size.  We have more email saved than we need but it is 
not a problem.  Our MT is 503594 for whatever that means.

If you are willing to do a quick test, rename your spam and notspam corpi to 
something else so ASSP won't see them.  Create two new directories and move 
10 emails into them.  Rerun the rebuildspamdb and see what the results are.

I think you have too little ram and too many emails in notspam and this is 
causing your problem.  My processors are smaller than your 1Ghz Zeon, but we 
have more ram.  There is 350MB of physical ram not being used by Windows 
normally, and a 1GB paging file to spill into if needed.  Our peak usage is 
1.4GB so something used up 800MB of ram on top of the normal running 
applications using 650MB.  Make sure you have ample headroom for expansion 
during the rebuild.

I know you said you were moving to Linux, but I thought I'd give you one 
more thing to think about.  If I was to use the lighter setting of 14009 
emails per folder, and 4k maxbytes, my rebuild time would go back down to 
~30 minutes.  You should be able to beat that properly configured.
