Hi Action,
I doubt that spiders are going to be put off by the quantity of HTML
tags in your code. You might, however, want to make your pages
lightweight for the users who have to download them, also for your own
maintenance sanity.
Google has some guidelines for Webmasters, and in the basic principles
they say, "Make pages for users, not for search engines". They also
mention frames as something to be a little wary of (but it's a mild
admonition) and they encourage you to use correct HTML. It's worth a
read, and I imagine that if other search engines published guidelines,
they'd read similarly.
