It won't change the size of the tuple record, but it will save space in that you 
you won't have one entry for every sender.

ie: joe@... 1.2.3.4 sends you email, gets delayed, then a whitelist 
entry is created.

later jane@... 1.2.3.4 sends you email. With lazyaw, that email goes 
through, and no new entry is created. Without lazyaw, she gets delayed, and then 
another entry is created.

In this over-trivialized example lazyaw would reduce your greylist db by 50%.

In reality, how much these will help depends a lot on your email.
