The events already say slots, not cycles. Except for recovery-bubbles. Could add
-slots there too if you think it's helpful, although it would make the
name very long and may not fit into the column anymore.

Yes --metric-only is a lot clearer.

per-core is supported and automatically enabled with SMT on.

Sorry, typo

The correct branch is perf/top-down-10

I also updated it now with the latest review feedback changes.

top-down-2 is an really old branch that indeed didn't have metric-only.
