AFAIK It does not have a very big impact on performance.

If tuning these then it is L2 that is the metric important for
performance. L1 only needs to be big enought to support the number of
objects stored in the cache.

The default L2 value is selected to be reasonable on most UNIX:es with
UFS like directories. If you have some other filesystem where
directories are stored in a smarter way then using a higher L2 value
might be beneficial to make better use of the filesystem enhancements.
