I'm not seeing any particular change, which is to say that Googlebot is taking approximately the same number of thousands of pages every day.

Back when there was an update every month and Google did a deep crawl a week or so ahead of time, watching the spiders was fun and there was a point to it. But if you're saying that the spidering fits a pattern that may have the update occurring a month or two more from now then I have to ask, Is this predictive at all? Or is our time better spent obsessing over datacenters?
