We both have added 512 Mb more immediately and also reduced -m 10 to -m 
5
/var/bayes has,
-rwxrwxrwx  1 spamd spamd  17M Sep 21 12:07 bayes_journal
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root  root   21M Sep 20 22:25 bayes_seen
-rwxrwxrwx  1 spamd spamd 5.2M Sep 20 22:25 bayes_toks

Will reducing it to -m 5 make the mail delivery slow?
