Functionality wise a really good improvement - thanks! But personally I find 
the abbreviation of one character (i.e. "Percnt" instead of "Percent") not so 
nice. If space really is an issue here, use "%"?

Also note though that it's unclear what this percentage actually is. I guess 
it's a sample percentage? Maybe a header should be added that explains these 
values to newbies. I bet many people won't even know what IPC is either.

Cheers
