Is it normal for trickles to go up in time first, then to go down in time again?

As you can see, I seem to be going in a spiral motion. These are all still phase one trickles.

mine have stayed pretty consistent, it could be that your machine was "stressed" for awhile so the average went down but now things are running quicker so your average time is dropping.

I know I was stressed for a while, never knew my machine could take over from me. :D

I see a similar variation hovering around 3.1 s/ts. It seems to be higher at the begining of the phase then lowers down to about 3.08 s/ts.

Picking it back up, since I am still going down in time between trickles. I am now seriously wondering if this is the effect of a Celeron CPU.

Can anyone else with a P4 Celeron CPU check his/her trickles and say if they rose first, to then start a downward tumble (thus speeding up the calculations)?
Or could it be that it's something in my work unit (002y_100025091_0)?

Yes, I have a P4 @3.2 GHz HT (hot celeron) and a P4 @1.8GHz and I have also noticed that TS time rise in Phase 1
