If the only reason you are doing this is to display a graph in a browser, consider using the IEGraph activex that comes with IE4. If you don't want to limit users to IE4, try using a Java graph. Many of these graphs just need parameters and will build themselves on the client machine, limiting server resource use. I have a java graph that is only 2K, downloads much faster than a reasonable GIF and looks good. It reads delimited parameters out of a file and graphs them. Let me know if you want it.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
