Yahoo has started ranking small websites better?

I've heard that Yahoo has started ranking small websites better than big sites that have more text content, is that true?

At this moment I can neither validate nor invalidate this theory. I have to run more SEO tests on this topic first.

However, I've seen a website of mine which you could call a "small website" outrank competitors in the Yahoo SERPS for a competitive term with 1.6M+ results. That website contains nearly no spiderable text, not too many inbound links and just a few pages in the index as opposed to the competing websites with a higher PR, more inbound links and more indexed pages.

A theory and one example do not ascertain a change in Yahoo's Search Engine algorithm beyond doubt though, so let's try to confirm this.

Did anyone else notice the same?

I heard that as well. And I also heard that Yahoo is putting more weight on subdomains lately.
