We already have this running (based on MySQL). Saving words and counts
into different tables does indeed seem to save some space - at the cost
of slightly more CPU intensive lookups. If you do the usual one folder
per user it is about 10%. As our system can do more than one folder (for
additional sorting after the spam classification) per user, though, the
space efficiency increases rapidly with that.
