Performance optimizations

• split up JSON files as discussed in status meeting
  • look into constraining by date range
• add Last-Modified tags to all JSON
  • especially the manifest!
• improve charting performance
  • "double-buffering" canvas for flot
    • stack overflow discussion
    • custom chart is much faster if each series is written to a hidden canvas then shown when they are all complete
  • look into reducing number of points
    • flot plots way more than is actually useful when graphs are very dense, flot group discussion
  • look into flot alternatives
    • highcharts
    • RaphaelJS / gRaphael
    • Current graphserver library
