It's the number of asshats trying to crash the server so they don't get raided or lag their oppenents out of the game so they don't face opposition. Also, I seem to see loftar mentioning running profilers on IRC, which I can only assume means a lot of experimentation with the server so that (hopefully) things can get fixed and they don't show up in Salem.
Play with it or don't play with it. Just don't come to the forums crying about the lag unless it's nearly shutting the game down. All the information says this is a free game perpetually staying in an "alpha" state and is here for the dev's entertainment. If you can't accept that, the door is over there.

Ouh Ouch.... Crying ? naw don't do it much any more. I am one of the older players at the age of 48, Yes i do know its free, granted i do donate on good games like this. But thats my choice, I would like to see it continue to be here, so I do donate. As for the profilers being run, that could be causeing it. I have been on all day, it comes and gos. (lag spikes) I am from the US , in Calif so that might have soemthing to do with it.
But Magic thank you for your responce. I will keep my posting to other fourms. Sorry if it appeared I was crying. (chuckles)
Cheers
