Since 1.0.2 was only out for a day, I'll make the assumption that there may
have been a slowdown there too, but there wasn't time to notice it.

Are you using the Outlook plug-in or sb_server or one of the other apps?  Is
one particular action (training, classifying, starting up, ...) slower than
before, or everything?  How many messages have you trained on?

The only change I can think of that might result in a slowdown (but
shouldn't) is that the release was built with a different version of Python
(and, IIRC, the pywin32 extensions).  These ought to make things faster, if
anyone, but none of the other changes should make any difference at all.

If you are using the Outlook plug-in, then there are so few changes between
1.0.1 and 1.0.3 that you might as well just reinstall 1.0.1 and stick with
that.  If you're using sb_server (or one of the other apps) then there are
some more important fixes, so we should try and figure out what the problem
is.
