Yeah, this sure looks like a MySQL problem. It could be that there is a
lot of data in your AWL and/or Bayes database. It probably would benefit
from some purging. You can do it this way in the GUI:

"Server Management" / "AV-SPAM". In the tab "MySQL" tick the checkbox
for "Flush MySQL" and click on the Save button. That will reset the
MySQL database to defaults. It'll slowly populate again over time.
