I don't browse at machine speed. Perhaps there's a detection thingy to make. Perhaps not faster than 1 second per page.

(Why can't I properly use the markup in my replies?)

    uhh, the bots are requesting multiple sites in parallel, not in series, so it's difficult to say "hey look, that user moves through 5 pages per second". instead, you'd say "hey look, there's 5 users each crawling through 1 page per second".
