[Bug 92118] Graphs don't scroll by smoothly

[Trouilliez vincent]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

The graphs now have bezier curves and look beauuutiful :-)
Here is an idea /feature request to compliment these sexy graphs:

make them scroll smoothly, and independently from the selected sampling rate.
Increasing the sampling rate (0.25s is the fastest) isn't a solution as graphs are still jerky, and it eats the CPU.
For example I normally use a sampling rate of 1 second, which yields on an idle sytem (1.5GHz CPU) a CPU load of 8%, which is already significant. If I speed up the sampling rate to 0.25s,  that's 4 times faster, I get 32% CPU load (!), which is also 4 times the previous load. So increasing the sampling rate clearly isn't a solution.

So smooth scrolling graphs, and low CPU usage would be lovely :o)
