Depends on the scale of your mail server. See this entry from the ChangeLog:

  NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE: Changed the graylist system to create a deeper
     directory structure by creating folders for the senders' domain  
names.  This
     will allow busy servers to use graylisting even when the number of sender
     addresses could exceed the number of entries allowed in a folder.  Thanks
     to Trog for suggesting this one.

My mail servers graylisting was hitting filesystem limits in less than  
24 hours. The qtp-prune-graylist script would take much longer than a  
day to run on my mail server. I'd basically have to run it  
continuously on my server - it would certainly impact performance.
