Sweet! My current Ubuntu (10.10) does not have good mouse zoom/pan
support, so I had to upgrade, but once I did that the comparison was
pretty simple. Different interaction style, but pretty competitive
responsiveness, I'd say. Both stock GnuPlot and stock
PDL::Graphics::Prima beat out stock matplotlib in terms of
responsiveness. :-)

I'll have to dig through the GnuPlot demos directory, now that I have
it handy, for some ideas about stuff to implement. :-)
