If a site seems to 'work' - the visitors (mostly new) appear happy with the content/structure etc, and the search engines are happy to rank it - is there any value in making small, regular changes to the content to make it appear 'fresher' to the engines, even if this does nothing for the visitor ?

I've read that fairly static sites may get crawled less frequently but so what ?

I tend to the view that 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' - unless you can make the visitor experience more worthwhile. On the other hand, algorithms don't have feelings.

Everything that I have read has said that the search engines are looking for fresh content if they are trying to "duplicate" the value to a human if there is a site that is constantly changing its content it tells them two things 1. A person is taking the time to do it (given 90% of the sites are static) and two the content has to change for the users to keep coming back i.e. blogs
