Suppose each data point is only 1 point (1/72 ") in diameter. A solid line across a 20" page is less than 1500 points. You're using a fraction of a page per graph and trying to plot 5,000-15,000 points per graph. This is pointless (pun intended) for visual display, especially since you do not care about the individual points. What happens if you decimate the points? Is the result acceptable?
Perhaps you could do even better than that, given your posted description. Fit a line to the points, and only plot the fitted line. Or use something like `hexbin`.
