Adding Data Point Kills CPU

Question

I have a chart with >1000 data points.  When my program adds a new data point (~once per second), my cpu load hammers to 100%, whether or not I am autoscaling.  Is there a way to reduce this loading?

Thanks!

*EDIT*
Found that setting my series to "Fast Line" instead of "Line" cuts my processor loading waaay down

when you have a lot of points, select Fast Line.
