I/We should be thanking you for the edumacation ;-) I classify these stats as "interesting"
Now a more "Useful" stat would be -NumberOfOpenUserRefs But that would not factor in someone opening 3 instances on a workstations. Now a very "UseFul" stat would be -NumberOfStations. This stat would keep count of unique Workstation either through IP or ID.

After trying a few more things, this is what I've found: -- The app server has NumUsersShared = 2 upon startup (not sure why). NumUsersShared does not go up when USERREFERENCE values are assigned to browsers. It goes up once a user-scoped or domain-scoped variable is assigned. If a browser gets a USERREFERENCE but your code never assigns any variables, then that USERREFERENCE doesn't have anything in the shared variable store and therefore doesn't show in NumUsersShared. Since this value goes up for both domain and user scopes, I doubt it can be used to determine how many users you have with variables assigned. This behavior seems contrary to the the documentation. -- NumVarsShared = 22 when the server starts (not sure why, but some must be for things like domain$variableTimeout). NumVarsShared will go up by 1 for each domain-scoped variable assigned. It will go up by 2 for the first user-scoped variable assigned (one for the assigned var and one for user$variableTimeout). After the first user-scoped assignment, NumVarsShared goes up by one for each additional assignment in the same USERREFERENCE. -- NumUsersLocal is always 1 in my tests. I guess this makes sense, since only one USERREFERENCE will apply to a single request. But I wonder why we can inspect this value if it's always the same. -- NumVarsLocal appears to show the number of defined local (request) scoped variables in the current request's processing, which also makes sense. -- All of the above holds true across <@DOMAIN>s. However, separate <@DOMAIN>s will have separate instances of domain-scoped variables. Therefore, all variable instances will add up for NumUsersShared and NumVarsShared. (I didn't test with instance, method or application scopes.) It seems the shared variable store is a memory area that all threads can access, while the local variable store is only accessible from the thread that created it. (I was thinking maybe shared variables are copied to the local store for each request, but that would be kinda silly.) This has answered my questions for now.
