IMHO "L1d" is too abbreviated for it to be obvious that it means L1 data
cache.  If you want something really short maybe "L1-d$" might be a
little clearer, but I stil like "L1-dcache" best.

The formatting of aligning things is nice defitely but we could also
shorten lines by saying "scaled from" in fewer characters maybe?  (I
have to admit I don't know what "scaled from X%" means in this case so I
can't suggest something better, but the fact that I can't easily tell
what it means probably suggests that the wording could be improved)
