Besides the cost of marshaling the data from the disparate sources in order to convert it into a graphical format, image files take a great deal of time to transport over the network and display in client browsers. The number of data points to be represented in a graphical format would normally be directly proportional to the number of performance bottlenecks the system will experience.
