Looking at load-graph.cpp:
load_graph_expose() looks to be using cairo_curve_to() for every point on every 
refresh. This interpolation seems to me to be wasteful when there is no change 
in data.  Memory usage tends to be a straight line.
I propose doing a quick check in the for loop to compare the current data with 
previous and if the difference is less than a certain amount, use 
cairo_line_to() instead.

The other option would be to offer a preference to use lines instead of
curves.

Both options should be easy to implement.
