I would have to disagree. I get over 2000 visits to my site per day, and so far Bad Behavior has done yeoman's work for me. Anyone who is having spam issues can Google Bad Behavior and see how some of the very largest Wordpress blogs are using it. For me, Bad Behavior blocks over 150 bots attempts day. My guess is that you were just getting lots of bots. :-)
Here is a link to one of the largest Wordpress blogs (in terms of following) on the Web:
Lorelle's Blog
and another
Lorelle's spam blog.
Those of us who have thousands of visitors, know that it is very easy for bots to target and break through Akismet and captchas, and Bad Behavior is invaluable to keeping the site up and running. I've been there, and I know for a fact. Without it, I would not have a running site.
