[wp-testers] WP 2.6 running slow

[Kirk M]

In a more personal test case, without "WP SpamFree" activated, I have to 
sift through 200-300 "spamments" a day (all legit spams, rarely a false 
positive). With "WP SpamFree" activated Akismet may actually pick up one 
or two spamments every 4 to 5 days. Big difference there in my time 
spent rolling through pages of spam caught by Aksimet in case of an 
extremely rare false postive. I did tailor Spamfree's message to let 
users know to contact me in case of an legit comment error. So far, none 
have.

Bottom line...personal preference.
