So if you prefer unit-less lines that's defensible, perhaps output the 
unit somewhere else:

    syscall            calls     min      avg      max  stddev
                               (msec)   (msec)   (msec)    (%)
    --------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------
    sendmsg                2    0.002    0.005    0.008  55.00
    recvmsg                2    0.002    0.003    0.005  44.00
    epoll_wait             1    0.000    0.000    0.000   0.00

or so?
