I have a feeling they'll only try to crack your password if it appeared on the list more than once. After all some of my passwords are almost SHA1 hashes themselves.
No point trying to crack that when its likley it'll be unique to LinkedIn but finding 4 users with the same hash is different.Comment

It isn't just the site that gets attacked that is the target. Other sites where you use the same username and password might result in richer pickings.
Gawker
Gawker got into a pissing match with Anonymous. Anonymous spent a little time and managed to pull the full source code for their CMS (ganja) and also the entire 1.3M record user database. They released it as a torrent.
I recall reading at the time that the Gawker chap responsible for the pissing contest was found to be using the same password across multiple accounts.
