It's quite subjective. IMHO timestamps measured in ns easier to 
understand in decimals rather than in separated 32-bit hex-es. No matter 
how many digital number they have.
Even post processing of perfc output is easier in case of decimal 
timestamps. You should not parse hexes and odd separators to calculate 
the time elapsed between two samples.
