Google Spam Reports- How are they prioritised?

Google released a video this week detailing how they deal with spam reports.

Every time someone send a spam report to Google it is prioritised based on how popular a keyword is, or how popular a site is.

Matt Cutts says in the video that spam reports from lower ranking sites and less popular keywords will most likely be left to the bottom of the pile, wheras a popular keyword/website it will be looked into straight away.

Although I don’t submit spam reports myself, it would be intersting to know if anyone has had experience of how quickly reports are being dealt with!
