Picking up on the point of one Bayes DB in MySQL vs. individual ones for each user, is it more effective in an ISP/host environment where you have diverse users to have them all share one Bayes DB with autolearn, or is it better if they each have their own Bayes data in MySQL (per user)?

We're slowly converting to mysql for bayes, and have not decided yet which method would be best for our users and for the servers in general. Thanks.
