So, speaking of "scp: rounding bug in displayed transfer rate"...

Other tools appear to deal with this same problem in a different way:

our machines are clearly capable of measuring timestamps with finer
granularity than 1 second, even if they report human-comprehensible
times to the (presumably human) user.

I wouldn't see a reason reject a patch that allowed scp to produce
output of "42B/s" if 1 byte gets transferred in 1/42 seconds.
