I saw the slowdown across multiple sites on multiple servers. Some have sitemaps, some have RSS feeds, some have both and some have none. All experienced a 95% reduction in crawled pages during the same time period.

I was worried that it was me. FWIW, glad to hear that others have experienced the same thing ( I guess misery loves company).
