I shut off "bayes_auto_expiry" and then do the forced expire at night. I don't 
control this from MS. You may want to up the expiry threshold to 500.000 or so 
(I think the default is 100.000).

It doesn't matter if you learn before or after expire. (well, it effects the 
number of removed tokens a bit, of course, but new tokens won't be removed, 
anyway). If you learn to the journal you also need to --sync or the just 
learned stuff won't be of use for a while.

No, there's no connection to expiry.

Yes. These are the remnants from your earlier timeouts. If you ever encounter 
these it means that the expiry doesn't finish.

This is correct and would belong on the MS list, anyway ;-)
