[gmx-users] please guide me through the confusing gromacs results!!!

Dear Gromacs users,
we want to simulateHSA protein using8 processors. Usually with our available system 10ns simulation on 8 processors lasts 2-3 days.
This time we submitted 10 ns simulation, after almost 6 days it has finished but when we look at md.log file, only 179411 steps has been completed and all the averages are over this time, although we have submitted the run 5000000 steps=10ns
1) First I want to know how the log file shows the end of simulation, although only 0.35 ns of simulation is done and if we draw RDF the time again shows completing of 0.35 ns.
you can see the ending part of log file below:
2) the second point is that the average load imbalance is shown as 110.3% while for previous runs we had this as 3-4 %.
what can be the reason for this high load imbalance? 
and is this responsible for the lower simulation efficiency and higher time? 
and the most important that why the log file is written in the way that the simulation has been completed while only 0.3 ns has passes?
Thanks for your time
