 The `Per` method returns a `ByteRate` class which has a `Humanize` method. By default, rates are given in seconds (eg, MB/s). However, if desired, a TimeUnit may be passed to `Humanize` for an alternate interval. Valid intervals are `TimeUnit.Second`, `TimeUnit.Minute`, and `TimeUnit.Hour`. Examples of each interval and example byte rate usage is below.
