This may well depend a lot on the individual. Certainly the JobId field 
needs to be displayed without commas in all situations; it is too hard to 
cut and past and too easy to make a mistake otherwise. For other fields, 
such as JobBytes, I find something like "52,610,802,628" harder to read, 
and would prefer it without commas. But I would really prefer that to be 
"52.610 GB" or (better) "48.997 GiB".

It looks like a dump of what is returned from the database server, 
without any interpretation by bconsole.
