If 90% of my applications didn't get black-holed or auto-rejected I would generally spend more time on them. For the record, whether or not I spend time tailoring depends on how I judge the company I am applying to. I tailor heavily for companies that are small-ish, that I find through sources like HN, or where I am directly emailing a human. I spend very little time tailoring if I have to go through Taleo/ICIMS/whatever or if my resume is going to a jobs@ email for a big company.
