I just upgraded spamdyke on one of my servers, and noticed that the 
--config-test was taking a considerable amount of time. I determined 
that it was the existing greylist tree that was making it take so long.

I ran David Stiller's clean-up-script (posted on this list 10/08/2008) 
which reduced the tree from 97k to 60k entries (number of entries, not 
size). That helped a bit, but the --config-test still takes quite a 
while to complete.

I'm planning on working on the script a bit this weekend to see if I can 
make some improvements to it. It appears to me from first glance that 
the script leaves a bunch of empty directories behind after cleaning up 
the empty files. I'll post anything I come up with.

Thanks to David for the great start with this. If anyone has any 
additional information about cleaning up greylist trees, please let me know.

Sam, do you have any thoughts about speeding up the --config-test run 
with relatively large greylist trees?

P.S. Happy New Year everyone!
