Hi!

It's probably just going berserk. You really need to downsample the data. Think 
of it this way, if you're using a default size, there are only 600 pixels to 
draw the chart on horizontally. If you spend one pixel per point, you can only 
draw 600 points anyway. So you might as well transform your dataset into much 
fewer points, e.g. using a running average or divided it into smaller intervals 
and take the min and max in each.

If you search the forum/mailing list, there are some posts discusses this.

The basic problem is that we're doing these drawing operations inside a slow 
browser. We can't just continue throwing points at it and expect it to run fast 
enough. However, Flot won't do the resample itself at the moment, you have to 
do that manually first yourself.

I'm going to close the bug since I don't think it's a bug per se in Flot.
