The progress made in optical and high energy instrumentation has significantly increased the sample of isolated neutron stars on which we can do multiwavelength astronomy. For each object we can compute the fraction of the rotational energy loss requested to produce the radiation (pulsed or otherwise) observed in the different energy intervals. Such processes are characterized by different efficiencies, depending on the wavelength involved. Inspite of the paucity of objects detected at wavelengths other than radio, clear patterns are seen to emerge from the comparison of the efficiencies in the different energy domains. Of particular interest is the dramatic change in the emissivity trends between hard X-rays and high energy gamma-rays.
