Well, automation can turn it off via --no-big-num, right?

Also, i think for automation we'd also like to have a 'simple output' mode,
would you like to add that?

Something a bit like what you can see in 'perf stat -v true':

$ perf stat -v --no-big-num true
task-clock: 164545 164545 164545
context-switches: 0 164545 164545
CPU-migrations: 0 164545 164545
page-faults: 83 164545 164545
cycles: 518743 169550 169550
stalled-cycles-frontend: 326178 169550 169550
stalled-cycles-backend: 269753 169550 169550
instructions: 326864 169550 169550
branches: 67886 169550 169550
branch-misses: 3874 169550 169550

Without the human output later on, and with elapsed time added as well.

Thanks,

Ingo
