Could be that the search engine implemented a better tracking mechanism that disallowed more crawlers (robots, spiders, data miners etc., aka Internet noise) than previously. Bots only require a fraction of a second to retrieve all the web page code and then they go away whereas a larger percentage of human traffic will increase visitor time because they take longer to digest a web page than a program does. Just a guess.
Did anything change with your load time? Any other changes you can remember that could have afffected the site?
