maybe it could be separated by new line and we could put note in the comment:

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
 
               1.73 Joules power/energy-cores/
               0.92 Joules power/energy-ram/         # groupped
 
         12,191,658        instructions              #    0.67  insn per cycle
         18,275,233        cycles
 
        2.001272492 seconds time elapsed
 

for events that already have defined comment, it'd be on the next line, like:

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
 
               1.73 Joules power/energy-cores/
               0.92 Joules power/energy-ram/         # XXXXX
                                                     # groupped
 
         12,191,658        instructions              #    0.67  insn per cycle
         18,275,233        cycles
 
        2.001272492 seconds time elapsed
