You are right, for size there aren't. For time there are
some ending with "Millis", and then there is the "MSPerMB"
exemplifying a case where the units are not immediately obvious.

I think your point is well-taken: after all we do not
have PermSizeMB or NewSizeMB, so why have MB in GCLOgFileSize.
Like in those case, let's rely on the K, M, G suffixes
to reduce keystrokes. So, I withdraw my earlier comment/request.

thanks!
