As I review the book, I see quite a variation in SBU precision. In some cases the value is specified as one significant digit (e.g. ed -> 0.02). In other cases the value is specified as four significant digits
(e.g. kdemultimedia 13.17).


These values really overspecify the point and the high precision is a bit misleading. I am presenting a suggestion for discussion:

SBUs less then 0.1 should be specified as:

  Estimated build time: < 0.1 SBU

SBUs between 9.9 and 0.1 (inclusive) should be rounded to one decimal:

  Estimated build time: 6.7 SBU

SBUs greater than 10 should be rounded to whole numbers:

  Estimated build time: 12 SBU

Comments?
