Description

speedscope: image

See: https://twitter.com/erwincoumans/status/1088136572271128576

My proposed fix would be the alter the unit formatting if two or more on-screen markings are identical. There may be some trickiness in ensuring that the markers don't overlap one another.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the unit formatting function in the speedscope codebase, specifically how markers are rendered at different zoom levels, and implement a solution to increase precision when markers become identical, handling overlap constraints.
