That would probably explain why I started to get image spam where the
content says "don't click anything - type the following url into your
web browser".

But I would argue that surbl.org is much less efficient for large e-mail
traffic then a good anti-zombie RBL, as it requires the MTA to process
the subject data - possibly rejecting the e-mail after the sender has
disconnected - which would require bounce messages, again consuming
resources. But I'm biased, of course ;-)
