I went ahead and pushed a patch to make the time units uniform across the row. This also uses the same units for stddev and the raw time, but on further reflection, maybe that's actually OK, because if it's really small wrt the mean, it's a bit beyond our concern. In the above, we'd get something like 3.0s (0.4s), which doesn't seem too bad. If not, we can tweak this further. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
