You might like to glance over this:
http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/article/generating-graphs-with-gnuplot

You can plot multiple data series in a single command:
set xlabel “Year”
set ylabel “MB”
set logscale y 10

set key left

plot “ram” using 1:2 with l smooth bezier title “ram”, \
“max-ram” u 1:2 w l smooth bezier title “max ram”, \
“disk” u 1:2 w l smooth bezier title “disk”, \
“max-disk” u 1:2 w l smooth bezier title “max disk”

I find bezier to be nicer to get overall trend impressions, the above makes this with a suitably configured ~/.gnuplot. See my ldn link above to see the core of my .gnuplot file.

It would be really cool if a full featured desktop distro would work with this approach. Provide small stripped down packages and load everything to RAM and only suspend/resume from there on out.

But sadly Distro makers are not visionaries .. if only I had the time and/or the money.
