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.
