btw., why does this printout SHOUT the 'or'? It's certainly not an
important piece of information. Something like:

vec-adds | add [Hardware vector event]
vec-muls | multiply [Hardware vector event]
vec-divs | divide [Hardware vector event]
vec-idle-cycles | vec-empty-cycles [Hardware vector event]
vec-stall-cycles | vec-busy-cycles [Hardware vector event]
vec-ops | vec-operations [Hardware vector event]

looks better on all levels.
