I haven't heard of changefreqs actually having an affect on crawl rate but I haven't been looking, either. It didn't used to make a different but maybe it does now? Hopefully someone has empirical evidence of this and just an observation. It would be nice if it was actually used to reduce crawl rates. That would save both bandwidth and sites from being hammered by googlebot.

Apr 12, 2011 at 19:27 comment added Tom Gullen Thanks, I really really appreciate all the hard work you do on the site answering noob questions from people like me :) Is Loc/LastMod/Priority good enough then in your opinion?
