First of all, this graph has no origin. Its a bit difficult to test with 
less than one cpu.

Anyway, the line actually is linear and would've gone through the 
origin, if there was one. What I did was take the level of the 
'max'-line at 1 and then multiply it by 2, 4, 6 and 8. So if at 1 the 
level would've been 22000, the 2 would be 44000 and the 8 176000.

Please do notice the distance between 1 and 2 on the x-axis is the same 
as between 2 and 4, which makes the graph a bit harder to read.

Best regards,

Arjen
