[Orca-users] Re: Disk run % graphs don't seem right...

[Blair Zajac]

The numbers with a 'u' or 'm' after them mean to scale the
number by 1e-6 and 1e-3 respectively, so the numbers are
actually very small.  They are still a percentage, so 1m is
0.001*100% =1e-5.

Is this consistent with the data you would expect?
