This aggregate includes images. But your point is a very valid one. Google
gets hungry sometimes and sometimes there is abatement. It's quite
unpredictable. A sheer example of that is Alexa (the Web Archive). This
month, MSN seems to be the 'bad guy'.

MSNBot  40296+704               1.01 GB         21 Apr 2006 - 07:53
Googlebot       34236+24        423.33 MB       21 Apr 2006 - 07:39
Inktomi Slurp   30905+2648      512.23 MB       21 Apr 2006 - 07:59

What do I get for the 1 GB of largely-on-the-fly-generated content?

MSN     58      128

At some point, I thought about kicking MSN out...

I agree on that account!
