See:

There are 2 different "rates" that you're talking about.
The rate to get data out of the datastore (usually a database).
The rate to render the data.
You also want to seperate the code which gets the data (datalayer) from the
code whichs presents it ( presentation layer, dotnetcharting for example).

That will show you "layered" or "tiered" development.
It will also allow you to time the 2 rates your speaking of, without mixing
the two.

Just wondered what is generally used to display data in graphical form?
(i..e I have some simple data to display in a bar graph/pie chart for
example).
