Display moving graphs in web-app

Hi,
I want to display a cpu/memory trace (same as in windows taskbar)
in my web-application using the moving time-series chart (which seems to be obvious choice).
Graph has to be updated every 10 secs or so.
How can i do that ?

One line i was thinking is that every 10 secs i call reload of page using "HTTP" header or _javascript and will create the new chart images and display them.

Is any more efficient way to do this ?

Sounds like an applet would be ideal. Except that 85% of your users probably use the one browser (MS Internet Explorer) that doesn't support Java very nicely. Try to convince them to upgrade to Firefox.

Don't know much about applets.
I have always relied on servlets/JSP's.

And in this case If i run a applet how can i get the new data from the server ?
