spider hits: google > yahoo - why?

I've usually got one Google spider on my forum at a time, and 10+ Yahoo spiders. Today I've had over 10,000 hits from the Google spider and just over 300 from Yahoo. If Yahoo has so many more spiders on my forum, why are they SO far behind Google in hits?



(I'm not necessarily looking for a concrete answer here, I'm just talking out of boredom.)

Google fixed them selves for one day and then broke again

Yahoo still hates me, but as long as Google keeps doing its thing I guess I'll live.

yahoo bot use many IP addresses (why ? different datacenters or whatever,i dont know)thats why you see too many yahoo bots online at the same time.
google use far less IP address (max 3),that why you see only few at one time.

That makes sense. I wish Yahoo would show me some love though, my site:url stats on Yahoo have never been over 5100 pages while I've been over a million on Google for quite some time now.
