My question is what does the 0.0000016 represent?

It represents an arbitrary number that some dude thought worked well for making the statistics graphs nice and smooth. It does not affect revenue at all unless you set the difficulty low enough that it overloads your poolserver's CPU or network connection with processing an excessive number of pseudoshares. I think it's better to not touch the pseudoshare difficulty at all, as p2pool's default values are generally reasonable.

I think I found the answer in the code...

Code:

if desired_pseudoshare_target is None:
target = 2**256-1
local_hash_rate = self._estimate_local_hash_rate()

2 to the power of 256 - 1 in my Excel yields 1.16e+77 and yes it does look like some arbitrary number...
