Just wanted to add a bit more information that I have noticed about the
graphing problem here.  It would appear that the cycle of drops in the
graphs is dependant on the amount of data being passed, i.e. as the line
climbs, the drops get closer, the spread further apart as the line
descends.

Might this be an effect of the IOS that we are using?  I wound't think it
would be, but I'm grasping at straws here.
