It's more of a difference with sa-blacklist which is about ten
times larger than BigEvil (comparing cf file size, I assume
there's some relation to memory usage). Therefore, it's
sa-blacklist memory usage that people were complaining more
about. I've updated the web site to reflect this. Thanks for
the feedback.

Yes, it should be more convenient. :-)
