In short, gstat shows the disk latency in 0.1 milliseconds, although modern NVMe drives have even lower latency on the order of tens of microseconds. For instance, actual timing of disks is 140us for read and 50us for write, so gstat shows it like "0.1ms" and "0.1ms".
This patch makes gstat to show latency in microseconds if actual latency is less than 1ms.
