I don't believe that search engines will care significantly if you drop
off the posting frequency a bit.  I hardly post on my tech blog anymore
and it still gets about 3000 visitors per day (65% from Google).

Quality of posts is more important than the quantity or frequency.
Better to spend time writing posts that will attract inbound links than
a lot of posts that will never get linked to.  If the blog continually
attracts links, Google will like it.
