It works fairly well for me, but there are times where the servers are either unavailable or take too long to respond so that SA times out the connection. Since 6/1, out of 4711 spams, 3097 were in Razor. > - I'm a bit confused regarding the distinction between Razor, and Razor2.

It comes down from the version and/or module name. "Razor" is Razor version 1, where the module name is "Razor". "Razor2" has the module name "Razor2" and is Razor version 2. Basically, if you have razor-agents 1.x, you have Razor/Razor1. If you razor-agents 2.x, you have Razor2.

Yes. Razor-agents is the client pack to the Razor system (whose code is not publically available). By having razor-agents 2.14 installed, you by definition have Razor2. (see above.) > - Assuming that I've installed Razor Agents version 2.14 above, what steps > do I need to take to enable Razor in SA? (I fished around in the INSTALL In SA, none (you'll have to restart spamd if you're using it). The modules are automatically used if they exist. You will want to follow the Razor install guide though. Basically, run "razor-admin -create", then "razor-admin -register" (if you want to report spam).
