I'm really starting to feel like directories are a quick fix for the impatient (like myself). If you didn't use a blog directories what would the results be for splogs? Hopefully this is related enough to the OP to just add here.

Actually directories can help in many ways. Getting your site indexed quicker is just one of the ways.
You get a backlink which is always nice, but thats not an important factor of directories. The majority of directories will send you traffic an initial boost and good directories will keep sending you some traffic over time.
Directories that count incoming hits will constantly give you page 1 listing if you send in hits, so having a reciprocal in a decent place can get you lots of hits from a directory.
Many directories have ping, so Google and other search engines are made aware of sites, updates etc.
