One year ago, I was ranked
195,121 at 95.3%.

Now I am  196,501 at 95.8%.

Is this usual?

Go over to main Seti forums and look for messages by Stan Pope. He
keeps a table on ranks, percentiles, number of workunits and
forecasts. As computers and users get more sophisticated as the months
pass, one must keep crunching faster to maintain (at least numerical)
rank. Percentile rank is easier to maintain than numerical rank
because percentile rank is figured on total number of users including
inactives which is always increasing.
