The CPU+ATI GPU units go well, but the 'normal' units take hours longer than the estimated time. What could be the cause of this?. ID: 1435280 ·

Of course, CPU work takes 5-10 times longer per unit. Perhaps this is what you're looking at. For example, here. ID: 1435319 ·

The other factor might be the completion of a workunit that happened to take longer than anticipated. That will skew the subsequent estimates until BOINC re-stabilizes them down the road.
