on my "at work" small network, slammer (or slammer like) traffic is still around 2% of inbound blocked traffic. (just a dead end off of asn 6467)
Almost every time I update our border ingress ACL (which removes the ACL for as long as it takes to load the new one, perhaps a few seconds) it triggers IDS alerts on 1433/1434, often specifically the slammer packet itself. (usually thanks to AS209) The SANS ISC currently gives an "Internet Survival Time" of 24 minutes for an unpatched windows box.
