The computation seems to be suffering from some kind of overflow:

cost limit=50 based on rate limit=1000 KB/s delay=20 dirty cost=20
cost limit=100 based on rate limit=2000 KB/s delay=20 dirty cost=20
cost limit=150 based on rate limit=3000 KB/s delay=20 dirty cost=20
cost limit=200 based on rate limit=4000 KB/s delay=20 dirty cost=20
cost limit=250 based on rate limit=5000 KB/s delay=20 dirty cost=20
cost limit=1 based on rate limit=6000 KB/s delay=20 dirty cost=20
cost limit=1 based on rate limit=7000 KB/s delay=20 dirty cost=20
cost limit=1 based on rate limit=8000 KB/s delay=20 dirty cost=20
