Yes that is what I think too, that is why we should maybe make it like 
Dolphin.

e.g. memory usage of 3 programs (I assume a base of 10 here, as it makes the 
example easier)
1) 56 K
2) 3,744 K
3) 5,019,112 K

how it is displayed to the user:
1) 56 K
2) 3.7 M
3) 5 G

What would be used as "K", "M" depends on the global settings, so either "MiB" 
or "MB" would be displayed.



Alternatively adding seperators to make the numbers more readable could be an 
option:
firefox  matthias  3% 650,292 K
vs as it is now
firefox  matthias  3% 650292 K


I hope my thoughs are better understandable now. :)
