The standard is to think in terms of mm/sec. This program uses mm/minute. Why? I have to multiply and devide by 60 to think about what it means.

An option for MM/sec would be nice for those of us from Makerbot land.
ReplicatorG, MakerWare and Slic3r use mm/sec, so mm/min really has no association in my brain.

I was really hoping for furlongs per fortnight....... :lol:

Kidding aside, mm/sec is certainly more intuitive, especially for small parts.
