I didn't mention that I am running as a Client to Dave's machine.  He 
usually doesn't have the dropouts at his end.  Also in a 24x1hour display, 
the currently drawing line doesn't have a problem, but when it gets to the 
end of the line and the screen redraws to make room for the next one, the 
line which was just completed now has had a ~1 minute 'dropout' inserted 
near its beginning.  The reason the gaps are not at the beginning of the 
hour in the gif's is because my screen display is rarely synchronized to 
the start of the hour.

I was just considering how much data it takes to display 24 hours at 200 
samples per second.  A bunch.

Thanks for the suggestions,
Brett
