Possibly. Though I'm not sure it would really help anyone. I don't expect anyone to change
anything based on the units here. Anyone who was using "activity" to monitor changes in
power consumption resulting from changes to their code would just have compared the
before/after values. Knowing that both numbers are nF rather than F wouldn't change
anything.
