Does the Yahoo bot slam your site?

Looking through our usage statistics, I see Yahoo's Slurp bot hits my site about as much as all the other spiders put together. The second highest is the Google bot, with 1/4 as many hits. I was just wondering if anybody else is seeing similar numbers.

What, something like...
"Dear msnbot,
I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you to reduce the number of times you crawl my files and directories. Pretty please?
Yours,
zro"

That doesn't address the issue. It's not that you want them to stop, just to tone it down. A robots.txt file can't do that. It's either index or not.
