These look very interesting. Just two points for the moment:

- Drawing connected curves seems misleading, because we are not 
mesuring/showing a continuous quantity that varies over time, but 
discrete requests and responses.

- The data sample includes big guys only. Some criticism of speedy has 
said that it is geared towards the big guys. Is there a way to get some 
more of an impression of how headers look at the long tail of websites?
