To four digits?
There are several multi-system comparisons, googling on multiple terms
(e.g.: spamassassin bogofilter spambayes comparison) should turn up
results. Freshmeat carried a good discussion a few months back.
SA tends to both catch more spam and pass more ham than other filters,
but it cna be a process hog. Particularly significant on a low-end
server or with a large mail load. Process limiting is very useful.
