We're having serious entity-overload on our server, causing repeated crashes. I don't have access to the server logs yet (but will soon), so I'm trying to narrow my list of possible causes down ahead of time.

Do items travelling through BC pipes count as entities?
 
I haven't tested this in to a large amount but i Think its 1 per item type.. or a total of one for the whole pipe line. I'm going off of what Lex said in one of his streams and from what I've seen. However, I haven't had real amount of issues from entities its mostly ticks from forestry farms.
 
Thank you, Meara. I'll have to start looking into the streams for more information.

Kids and their streams. What's wrong with text documentation? /shakes cane
 
I've seen a problem where an animal get spawned every tick leading to insane amounts of enteties.
It's probably not the problem here but this could ultemately lead to chunk corruption so wouldn't hurt checking your FML log for spam of "Wrong location! oq['[animal name]'/[large number]"
See this thread for more information.
