Your speed is 64.76 MH/s -- that's the "plains." And "words" how many words from your wordlist you are going through per second.
If you were doing a straight wordlist attack, both "plains" and "words" would be 64.76 MH/s. But you are using best64.rule which has 78 rules, so each word from your wordlist has to be re-hashed 78 times with 78 different rules. Therefore your rule-based attack will be 78x slower than a straight dictionary attack, meaning you will move through your wordlist at 1/78th the speed of a straight dictionary attack. That's why "words" is ~78x less than "plains" in this instance.
