Get a more realistic speed as most file managers and apps still assume binary sizes (powers of 1024). Not on by default.

This is mainly for use with the --bytes options since many file managers and applications assume use of 1024 intead of 1000 when it comes to dealing with data sizes in bytes. This is so users can get a closer to realistic view for general data (pretty much except those on OS X and possibly Ubuntu, whose file manager(s) use SI units).
