Don't be so hasty. I'd be perfectly happy to spend 60 seconds/message,
if it could drop the FN rate by 95% and keep the same FP rate as SA
with a threshold of 8. A minute of computer time is worth 1% to me
compared to 10 seconds of my time, especially if it is done
asyncroniously so I don't have to pay an hour delay when my client
reads email. Even if a mailserver couldn't handle that CPU load, it
still might be a better solution to setup a P2P system on a hundred
desktop machines to do the filtering rather than drop the expensive
filter.
