\ \ \fB^E\fR\ \ :\fIScale-CPU-Time-fields\fR (Ctrl key + `e')
The `time' fields are normally displayed with the greatest
precision their widths permit.
This toggle reduces that precision until it wraps.
It also illustrates the scaling those fields \fImight\fR experience
automatically, which usually depends on how long the system runs.
For example, if 'MMM:SS.hh' is shown, each ^E keystroke would change
it to: 'MM:SS', 'Hours,MM', 'Days+Hours' and finally 'Weeks+Days'.
Not all time fields are subject to the full range of such scaling.
