For nanoseconds, I think 1G is a bit weird. Since you cant say 1 Gns, I'd rather keep the value. Anyway, 1_000_000_000 or 1'000'000'000, or whatever separator we use) is something quite readable in the context of nanoseconds.
SI actually allows Gns (/nGs?) and they cancel to s, but either looks weird
here, so okay if you don't like the G in text and want to keep the long form.
[I was used to the UK(/EU?) (electronics?) convention of using the SI prefix
instead of a decimal point e.g. 3k6s 31M536s etc. so not much looks off to me.]
