I've added some text to the plugin page to explain this:
  This plugin can be useful for understanding how the
  spaced-repetition algorithm works and debugging extensions to
  Mnemosyne. Its value for ordinary users is, however, disputable. In
  many ways it is better to trust the algorithm and implementation,
  particularly when choosing how to grade cards. In fact, the display
  of potential future intervals can be disabled for this reason.

Adding this line to .mnemosyne/config.py will disable the display of
future intervals:
  plugin_cardstatbar = { 'show_until_next' : False }

I have been using it for some time because I found looking at the
precise numbers was influencing my grades.

Tim.
