I have no idea on the numbers there. Noone does I guess, as
PCP is available in some distros (Debian & SuSE at least) so
its not really possible to count downloads.

I can only really speak for myself, although I know there's
a diverse set of people using PCP (from looking at the email
addresses of people who've posted to the list) - which isn't
too surprising, since its a useful in all demographics, and
SGI have made it available to all their customers for a very
long time.
We use it extensively at Aconex for monitoring our web app
and services. In production operations, testing, and also
development. Using "monitoring" in a very broad sense there
too - there are not many of the PCP tools that we don't use
in one way or another, and we have custom clients and agents
as well, specific to our environment.
cheers.
