We really don't have the data (or haven't processed it enough) to say.
I have some anecdotes -- sorry, the only two I can think of off the top
of my head are CC family, so don't really count:

I'm hoping to make our (extremely messy) data publicly available
soonish, including some logfiles (with IP, referrer, and anything else
that could be privacy compromising stripped of course) so that others
can analyze.
