Comment on Twitter's UID associated to each tweet will very soon exceed 2,147,483,647parent

From the link:

"Twitter is seeing about 200 tweets per second, during peak loads. - Robert Scoble"

Note "during peak loads", so 83 is probably not too far off.

Fair enough. Do we have any solid references of the actual average rate of tweets?

I haven't seen one, but it's easy enough to get it. Just check the UID of the latest tweet on the public timeline, wait a week and check again.
