Was going to say this. You need your resume to cover both types of people who will be looking at it. HR/Managers for initial screening and then developers for the real interview. For a startup where I know the dev or founder are seeing my resume right away, I wouldn't include those types of quantifications. If I'm applying at ${bigcorp} then it helps get you through round 1.

100% agree. Including numbers along with accomplishments was hammered into me at $bigcorp during performance review time.

Same applies to resumes. They are impressive to recruiters, HR and often hiring managers themselves.
