Our milter-greylist currently eats up to 2GB. This is not a problem for 
now since our server has plenty of RAM (16GB), but since we compiled it 
in 32-bit, it may some day hit the 4GB-limit of per-process address 
space. So optimization would not hurt...

By the way, our database holds only 35000 entries; could there be some 
memory leak ? hmmm..
