While I'm at it:

              %M     The  maximum memory the process had in use at any time in
                     Kbytes.

This seems to be in megabytes on my platform (zsh 4.3.17
(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu), Linux 3.2.8).

Finally, %X and %D are rubbish on Linux (but GNU time(1) always shows
0 for them).
