I guess they do. For spam, the reply rate might be as low as low as 1 in
12 million, for pishing (if cleverly done) the number is probably
higher. For spam see:

To have something less off topic: I find it quite interesting, how much
the benchmark results between the same two compilers vary on different
platforms. Compared with Absoft Fortran, GCC/gfortran 4.3 is by the
following percentages slower:
0.2% 32bit on Vista64 on Intel XEON
21% 32bit on Vista AMD X2
6% 64bit on Linux64 on Intel XEON
16% 64bit on Linux64 on AMD X2
(http://www.polyhedron.com/compare0html)
(See also "Errors on your web page" thread in gcc@/fortran@)
While the bottleneck programs vary a lot, fatigue and gas_dyn are slow
on all platforms (incl. on AMD Athlon64, where other compilers are up to
almost twice as fast). If we are lucky, the middle-end array work by
Richard plus the single-function-decl patch will fix that ...
