The number of pages indexed cannot be the answer because we get new pages included every day - many of us put new pages on existing sites and they are included within 2-7 days. This only affects sites that are on new domains or older domains that never had a site (ever including the archive org listings) and has been affecting sites since last fall.
Ive heard people theorize that the page limit number may be staying the same and that the new pages we make on existing sites are replacing older pages that havent been updated - doesnt sound very likely as it would take a massive amount of horsepower on already hard working servers - not Googles way of doing things - they look for easier streamlined ways of doing things these days
