Discrepancy in Stats

The reason why the numbers in the RAC and total credit columns differ depending upon which column is used for sorting is very simple. The two pages, with the different sort orders, are SEPARATE pages, which are not computed at the same instant. They are typically precomputed a few seconds or minutes apart, and then cached on our server. So for volunteers with large numbers of computers, or teams with large numbers of members, the RAC and total credit numbers change fast enough that the difference is noticable even after a few seconds or minutes.
