Why don't we have some pretty graphs like that on the postgres site? I
agree that the mysql tests against single user are useless, but users see
the FUD of pretty pictures and are mislead. If mysql is giving out
information like that, shouldn't we also have some pretty pictures? If
they exist, i've never seen them on the main site.
