Jocelyn, without more information about how many queries your system has, it's impossible to say. I do not know how MySQL calculates the 'Seconds_Behind_Master' data, but: If your system has bursts of queries, why is the data represented below confusing? What if inbetween your 1st and 2nd 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS' query a large amount of replicated queries were processed causing the slave to temporarily lag behind.
