I keep my bayes database on the ramdisk.  My init scripts copy the db to 
disk on shutdown, and copy into ramdisk on startup.  Sendmail is restarted 
every night for log rotation so worst case i'd lose a day of Bayes if the 
server crashed.  Since SA is nailing bayes db on every message, i figured 
it can't hurt to have it on the ramdisk as well.
