You have run some optimizer tasks. These tasks wreck havoc out of the result duration correction factor which in turn estimates how long a task will take. You can find this number in your computer list, hostID number, bottom of the screen.

To work correctly, it should be around 1, preferably lower. Anything above 1 is giving strange readings.

This number will come down with the normal Malaria tasks you run, as each one running in less time than the estimate will reduce the RDCF by several points.
If you can\'t wait for that, you could reset the number. Check this FAQ on how to do that.
