Lee brought something important to my attention regarding SFS:

SFS is very successful at blocking spam bots from registrations. But that causes another issue. These spammer registration scripts can try to register again in millions of a second. Hitting the server many times and causing high server loads. This is also why SFS logs show so many blocked spammer accounts.

So while SFS resolves the spam problem it relocates the problem to server issues.

Have you thought about analyzing the http fingerprint of blocked spammers and blocking them from the site? Or even adding a temporary IP block for those IPs.

Yes, you can do that with spam-o-matic, which includes SFS.
