The benchmark code requires the bucket files to have specific names:
hambucket1.mbox | spambucket1.mbox |
hamforget1.mbox | spamforget1.mbox |
hambucket2.mbox | spambucket2.mbox |
hambucket3.mbox | spambucket3.mbox |
I suggest at least 1000 messages per bucket, for sure it should not be less than 200, and maybe even 300 depending on how much autolearning happens in phase 2. Obviously, the more messages you have the more accurate your results will be but your benchmarks will take longer. I tend to use 2000 messages per bucket (1000 in the forget buckets) and my tests take between 40 minutes to 2 hours to finish, depending on the backend and setup.

Of course, I'm always glad to hear feedback and suggested changes to the benchmark. It really is something that I came up with on my own and it is possible that I've completely missed the boat. (MichaelParker)
