You call a flicker of 25 in 24000 big?  I could be wrong, but I very
much doubt that positions are re-assessed in real time with every unit

Rank is re-assesed in realtime - try sending a single result in. ;-)  The
'more than X% of users' figure is re-assesed against a total number of users
that only increases every few hours...

Ah yes - but that could simply be your *apparent* rank, relative to 
the last statically assessed positions.  Otherwise you have a lot of 
potential shifting and shuffling to do with just the return of one 
unit.
