Google showing us some "love" ... 
... all part and parcel of changing the software - the spiders notice the different structure, and because we're a popular site they come along en-mass to update their listings.
Google isn't as aggressive as others, but can still overwhelm your server a little.
It'll calm down over the coming weeks and months, and in the meantime if it gets to be too regular I'll cap the resources on the web server and limit the number of simultaneous requests it can serve.
