Activity for many of ours seems to have been lower pre-July with a significant increase moving in to August. However as Gabriel mentioned – Time spent is significantly lower from just before the end of July

Perhaps it just got more efficient

The “Number of pages crawled per day” and “Number of kilobytes downloaded per day” are the same for the last 3 months. The “Time spent downloading a page (in milliseconds)” is much lower in August.

Did you take a PR deranking. I noticed a reduced crawl rate on one of my sites after it was spiked from a 7 to much lower. Still ranks in the SERPs but no longer being crawled on a daily basis

My graphs are showing about the same amount of activity for the last few months although the last 4 or 5 weeks there has been a very slight increase but nothing too noticable. For me, googlebot is not on holiday.
