The graphs are scaled based on the maximum end of the range (i.e. 1000ms 
in your example). I don't know the exact scale used, but it goes from 0 
at the left to some value at the right which is constant within a block.

The graphs very quickly convey how the average relates to the min/max 
times. This is particularly useful when spotting calls that are always 
slow, vs. ones that are only slow a small fraction of time, for example.
