Paul and Kevin, Re"Size of L1/L2 etc.":,

Also remember that the timing requirements on the L1 are much more stringent than that on the L2. Thus you can only increase the size of the L1 so much before you hit the timing issues. Circuit Design of the caches is one of the most challenging parts of microprocessor design,
