On my small site, I figure around 1,000 pages. G thinks around 10k. The yourcache tool shows the problem starting around July 4. Correct count came back around July 10 and then took off on July 16 and went to 10k+ now.
I do have a 301 redirect in place which took care of the non-www problem. I also see at least 4 different cache dates going back to around last January.
In the old cache I've got old pages which I can't get rid of (using console). Long story. My programmer will attempt to fix these through htaccess returning a 404.
Surely this must be as important as the jagger threads owing to possible dup content?

I'm non-existent as far as Google is concerned. One theory I had was that I was under some kind of penalty for growing from 993 to 10,000 pages overnight.
The site actually has around 1,025 pages and I did some redesign that eliminated around 150 pages (bringing the site down to the 1,025 level). I've even got a reinclusion request in to Google.
Right now I'm bouncing between 10,100 and 990 pages (depending on the DC). I just noticed this today and to answer your question (finally), I saw no noticible increase in Google traffic.
