I am a bit surprised you have such a slow response, the typical algorithms
don't seem to be extremely taxing.
As part of an author authenticity scoring app Naive Bayesian filtering
proved quite useful, for spam filtering its use *by itself) proves rather
limited. Quite a few spam creators (scripts) are well equipped these days
to lower scores substantially, allowing their messages to leak through.
