However, if it is a stellar resume it is a stellar resume, and I'll make a point of not forgetting about it if it really interests me.

Resumes get more attention if there is some sense that it was sent to the particular firm, because that firm has something in particular that attracted to applicant. When I receive an e-mail resume, I assume mass mailing, and spend less (little to no) time with the resume.
edit: just realized this was 6 months dead- too late I'm sure
