can't vote at the moment, but I really like the display of the average(s) on the overview pages. My vote is "+1". IMO the graphs are already to cluttered for a quick overview and I have ideas for adding even more clutter (that matters to me, like the date the graph was produced :-). But if clutter doesn't matter, why not do both? I do not believe that the additional overhead is such a problem.
