obvious place to start is to change "data-Cache" and "instruction-Cache"
to "dcache" and "icache" which are still easy to figure out without
needing to look anything up. And "Reference" can become "ref" with
minimal loss of clarity too. So we could get down to

L1-icache-load
L1-icache-load-miss
L1-icache-store-miss
L1-icache-prefetch
L1-icache-prefetch-miss

and so on.

> Data-TLB-Cache-Load-Reference [Hardware cache event]

Could become

dTLB-load
dTLB-load-miss
iTLB-load

etc.
