Maybe we should call it "LOAD (and other graphs)" :-)

I have to agree.   Throughput is really the wrong word.

Many people daily use this feature to plot how LOAD changes over time.
Many people use it daily to plot how MIN/MAX/AVG service response times
changes over time

Nothing at all to do with throughput.
