  In the announcement I have asked whether to add possibility of applying time
offset to the archive so that data from multiple days (e.g.) can be in the graph
on the same time point. From your question I see it is necessary :)

  When I add it, you will be able to run:
pcpmon -a day1=... -a day2=... -s -1d -a day3=... -s -2d

  Then, if you create yourself config which will contain expression:
(day1:kernel.all.cpu.load+day2:kernel.all.cpu.load+day3:kernel.all.cpu.load)/3

  This would print average CPU load from the three specified days.

  It is currently possible to grab the window (e.g., with xv) and then print it
(hard-copy). Maybe I will add possibility to export the graph data, either
as text-format values or maybe even as PostScript.

  What I am doing right now is to add possibility of entering the expression
and highlight specified parts of the graph (i.e., when CPU load was >10 etc.).
