note that the right axis has to be configured based on the left
axis, you can shift and scale it ...

as for the content of the graph, you have to use CDEF to adjust
position and size of something like CPU. The reason for this is
that I want the grid to be true for both axis and this is only
possible when they are somehow coupled ...
