Do you mean as in the number of shares you have found?

I wrote some more. It's probably just an artifact of a bad UI without any decent explanations. At least now I know it's not something important or well-known.

Depending on which pool your mining, this is usually representative of how many valid shares are being passed back to the pool.

It has been displayed in a decimal fraction it seems, so 0.985 would be an amount of 98.5% valid shares returned.
