Spamassassin and Spambayes

After the big discussion a month or so ago, I decided to give spamassassin
another fair try - this prompted by my having created self-imposed problems
getting spambayes to work on my home FC5 pc. I use kmail - supposedly, kmail
detects spamassassin and give you the option of configuring/using it - it
provides training buttons on the menu-bar, so you can go through your inbox
and separate the spam; I also trained on a number of ham messages that had
been filtered into various folders, training on several from each folder.
After intially terrible results, my spam detection crept up to about 80%.
Since I get over 200 spam messages daily, that still would leave over 40
messages to sift through daily, not so great. Today, I finally got Spambayes
running; after initial training on about 200+ messages, I'm already getting
around 95% spam detection...
Am I missing something here? Is there a better way to train spamassassin?
