From an administrative perspective I *much* prefer separate wordlists.  I'm
sure the db utils would probably make it possible to split them up and
manipulate them separately when required even if they are stored in one
list, but a generic system/mail admin isn't that familiar with those tools,
and I don't necessarily think they should be expected to be.  Further, we
run a lot of automated stuff to do wordlist management, rebuilds, etc., and
I want to keep those tools as simple as possible.

I know you're looking for speedups, and appreciate that given the size of
our implementation, but the two list version is plenty fast for our setup
now.  I don't know that the loss of convenience here is worth the potential
speed up.

Just my .02 as a user/implementor...
