I have some sites but the most affected is the biggest news site, around 1M pages. I think we have two issues here:

• the new interface; probably we lost some visitors due to the bigger number of links, images and ads available
  
• the new caffeine infrastructure and its consequences
  
  1. websites are full re-spidered and re-ranked thus trust is re-evaluated
     
  2. synonyms are introduced and mixed with exact-match searches
     
  3. "uniqueness" of the content gains value so big news sites with agency content or shops with dealer copy (and thus the scrapping websites) received a hard hit
