Training is critical. If your userbase is not uniform enough to allow for
you to do global training (e.g. you're not a home or a company), and your
users aren't willing or able to do individual training or don't trust you
enough to send you private ham to train with, then you are probably best
served by turning off Bayes.

Further, what are the "scoreset" indexes?
There are a couple of configurations that can greatly affect scoring -
whether or not bayes is in use, and whether or not network checks like
URIBL lookups are in use. This gives (at the moment) four general
configuration cases. Four possibly different scores for common rules are
needed to give the best performance in each case.
For example, URIBL checks are very good at detecting spam, so if they are
enabled the scores on other non-network rules can be reduced a bit.
I don't use Bayes because all of my clients are POP mail and they are
neither smart|committed enough to mail back ham/spam to educate the
system.
Then your decision will be based on how varied your users' mail traffic
is. If you're an ISP, bayes probably won't be appropriate. If you're an
organization (where the nature of ham you receive will be more consistent)
then global bayes may be appropriate and useful.
