It depends. Look for "training to exhaustion". I myself don't do it. My

I am not the author of trainbogo.sh. I guess the idea was to make it
possible to do several passes through the corpus in order to catch cases
when the classification of a message changes (from correct to incorrect) 
after some other messages has been trained.
