Looking in the database, it seems like he computer who had this problem (and 
there are others) have really low values for et_avg in the database:

mysql> select pfc_n, et_n, et_avg, et_var, et_q from host_app_version where 
host_id = 1017 or host_id = 2270;
+-------+------+----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
| pfc_n | et_n | et_avg               | et_var                | et_q            
     |
+-------+------+----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
|    15 |   15 | 5.42546789377713e-10 |  3.81303780501951e-21 | 
5.71955670752926e-20 | 
|    26 |   26 | 4.96156582191146e-17 | -2.79897154084492e-31 | 
1.46049779705622e-22 | 
+-------+------+----------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+

Could that be causing the problem?

Why would the estimated time be so far off?
