Two reasons:
1. Some values are in KB, some in 8 KB
2. I find it easier to calculate in KB
I'd like to see the following:
* If the value is purely numeric, treat it as before (to ensure
compatibility with older versions)
* If the value is numeric with a prefix of [KMG], interpret it as KB,
MB, or GB, respectively
