I suppose we could consider dropping the decimal component if it's a
round number, but I think that it may produce awkward flickering if the
rate oscillates between a round number and a non-round number.

You're right, the resulting flickering would look really annoying.  In 
fact, I already modified the reported download speed in another project 
to avoid pretty much the same kind of flickering, and it looked much 
better without it.
