FWIW, in the past 5 days, nickb has gained 150 points of karma from submissions, and 25 points of karma from comments; so clearly it's primarily the submissions which are putting him so far "ahead of the pack".
Interestingly, in the same 5 days, nickb has submitted 37 stories -- an average of score of just over 5 points each -- which places ranks him highly not only in volume of submissions but also in quality.
What did you use to track this down? Did you do it manually?
And yes, just like with a lot of other things, it's about quality and not quantity of submissions. The interest of users of this site is pretty clear so if you submit links that are meaningful to them, there's a good chance you'll get upmoded. But as I said, I don't really care about karma... I get nothing for it anyway :).
I view submitting stuff here as a thanks to others that do the same. I can't even begin to express the thanks to others that have introduced me to so many different concepts that have cut down our development time by months.

Nickb clearly has some clever software working for him :)
