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

[Greg Winn]

The scaling makes perfect sense to me, thank you -- although it would be
nice to set the number of significant digits I am interested in so that the
numbers do not look so long -- I am more worried about genuinely large
numbers than genuinely small ones!  I guess I can do that by playing with
the GPRINT statement (%lf) to specify field width etc?

Thanks,
-Greg

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?
