Two million registered, so what, I care most about downtime

Tateru Nino wonders:

Do you care about the numbers — about one million, or two million or seven million? Or is your own experience of Second Life, and the experience of those around you what really matters to you, whatever else might be going on? Is the health of Second Life measured in numbers, or in your day-to-day experience of it?

What I care most about is having less of what the screenshot shows below — which is an interuption of both businesses and interaction. Over 2006 I think these types of problems have gotten worse, not better, although I have no empirical data to prove or disprove that.
