Can't comment on bogofilter, since I started with a couple of thousand
presorted spam and ham messages to train on, but my first Bayesian
filter - SpamBayes - only needed about thirty or forty messages before
it began to get the hang of my mail. 

I suspect any Bayesian filter will learn equally fast. I suspect the
speed is in the mathematics, not the software,
