After reviewing the multifrequency behaviour of the Isolated Neutron Stars detected so far, we analyze for each object the efficiency of conversion of the star's rotational energy loss into optical, X and gamma radiation. Although the number of pulsars detected at different wavelengths is rather limited, a pattern is seen to emerge from our analysis pointing towards the period derivative as the leading parameter to describe the multifrequency emission of INS. One object in particular, PSR 1509-58, stands out as archetypal for the Pdot-dependence of its luminosity at different wavelengths.
