There are few people who report Google is indexing pages more on weekdays than weekends, also it seems Google's traffic in much more in first 3 weekdays than towards weekends or Fridays.
I do agree with the traffic point its obvious that weekdays are much more popular than weekends. People tend to use computers more on weekdays especially from work places. We monitor a lot of websites and the pattern remains the same.
But for pages indexed I don't buy the argument. If you see more pages indexed on some weekdays it could just be a coincidence. What I have seen when Google indexes pages it keeps them in its index for a long time. So when a page is indexed on say Monday it will still remain on Saturday. So the numbers should virtually remain same as of Monday. But from what I have seen, sometimes lot of crawling happens on weekends and sometimes it happens on weekdays. I don't see much difference; I think it has to be mostly with the person who operates the crawlers.

Ya i note it. Google's traffic in much more in first 3 weekdasy than towards seekends.
I remember that when I first waited for my site to be indexed, nothing happened for the entire weekend. But then Monday came and the web pages suddenly appeared on the search engine. I can't tell if it's coincidence, but I don't know who would be operating the crawler on weekends (or is it automatic?).
