Lower norm means less false positives. It should be below 1 and above
0.5.
0.83 is ok.

There are different methods to influence the norm.
First is the maxfiles number. If you go higher with maxfiles the norm
goes lower, because HAM tend to be longer (more words) than SPAM.

In my installation the average of HAM  is 8k  and the average of SPAM
is 4 K.
That gives me a norm between of 0.5 and 0.6.
I reduced my maxsize to 4k. By that my norm went to 0.9 and i could
increase maxfiles without having long rebuild time.
