I didn't see anybody call it an even comparison. The graphing tool use
is, as far as I know, choosing its own scale for each line more or
less as a consequence of its core purpose of graphing server stats.
Those are not comparison graphs, just two graphs that happen to sit on
the same axes. We have to do our own mental processing.

But even with different scales, the wedge shape that's opening up
between the lines tells us all we need to know. We could play with the
scale to see how quickly it's happening, but that's about all.
