Surely 2 minutes is above the maximum execution time and would just do half of them and then send a 500 error?

I agree though, Akismet is amazing

Absolutely, there is no other plugin with as much spam awareness DB as of Askimet.. personally this is the only plugin i use for spam control and is very effective !!

Exactly, without it, we would be spending most of our blogging time in moderating comments. I hear wp-hashcash is also a good one

Yea, but if we didn’t have akismet, the only job we would be doing is checking for spam

In my experience its true, the percentage 83 % is less, Now Akismet is failed to catch some spams .

Arun is amazing. I learn something new everytime I come here.
I had a client with over 4,000 comments, (since he had never activated askimet).
Arun saw that and cleaned it up for us in 5 minutes.
Pretty amazing when you consider the only other way we thought we could get rid of that many comments was per page. If you need any kind of website or blog work hire him!
He is amazing.
