This would be a clear violation of the SI standard, which says on its
prefixes:
[snip]
I would second Pádraig Bradys:
  268435456 bytes (256 MiB) copied, 0.0248346 s, 10.8 GB/s

Or as neither bit nor byte are SI units, one might even keep all IEC units
in IEC binary prefix as such:

  268435456 bytes (256 MiB) copied, 0.0248346 s, 10.1 GiB/s



I'm fine with "MiB" or "GiB", my " 256MB" example was a bit sloppy.
And, yes, I'd also like to see the throughput in IEC values.

chris
