It's been my experience that pages with higher PR update more often than pages with lower PR and that the higher PR sites get crawled more deeply than lower PR sites. It's hard for me to believe a blanket statement like "expect a backlink PR update in a week"

I did qualify the statement by separating google updates into four categories.

I am drawing not only from experience with the sites that I maintain, but from the experiences of other webmasters.

If you maintain a PR7, PR8, or PR9 sites with contrary behavior, I would love to hear about it. I maintain only one PR7 site (and several of lesser PR) and it follows this pattern. I presumed that people asking this question are maintaining sites that fit within my experiential framework. I may be wrong about that. (BTW, if are you are referring to the rapid introduction of new pages by high PR sites, I would classify that under the freshening update category.)
