Forcing an expiry on the database doesn't seem to do anything. What

SA doesn't, at present, support expiry on either file.
For bayes_seen, you can just delete the file if you're using 3.0.0 or
higher. However, be aware this will allow retraining of old already
learned messages, so make some efforts to avoid doing so, but one
or two
dozen won't hurt much.
For the autowhitelist database, grab the check_whitelist script out of
the tools subdirectory in the tarball. Run check_whitelist --clean on
the AWL file. This will eliminate any "one-off" entries from it. Not
much of an expiry, but its a start. (note: the lack of any reasonable
form of expiry is one reason why I say the AWL isn't really ready for
production use on any servers that have decent mail volume)
OK - thanks. So, for example, it's safe to delete the bayes_seen
file after it gets over a certain size? Is there a particular size
after which performance degrades significantly?
