Description

This might be more appropriate than seconds because many durations we measure are a lot smaller than a second.

I'd still recommend using the same unit for all numbers because it's confusing and hard to compare if e.g. the Time column were in seconds while the Loading column were in milliseconds.

Research direction

Start by locating the detailed-view implementation and the code that renders the Time and Loading columns; the issue does not name files or tests. Trace how duration values are formatted, then verify that all displayed duration columns use one consistent unit and that short durations remain readable.
