Yahoo!'s New, Faster, More Efficient Crawler

We launched a new Yahoo! Search Crawler, Yahoo! Slurp earlier this week. In addition to crawling the Internet faster, our new crawler is more efficient at visiting websites. As a result, site owners will notice as much as a 25% reduction in the number of requests and bandwidth consumed by the crawler.

This is great! I look forward to being able to see the results on Yahoo! of my optimization efforts sooner.
