Diego,
I've done a real-time updating chart that shows bandwidth usage and  
other information from a satellite modem using bar graphs. In the app  
there are 4 panels, and 8 bars per graphs. Each graph shows a  
'peak' (a line showing the highest the bar has ever been). Some bars  
have different colors, and all of them have a slight beveled border  
around them. On top of that the bars gradually step to their desired  
values so they don't just jump erratically.

I suppose I'm trying to paint a picture that shows a lot going on at  
once - The JRuby + Monkeybars route was worked pretty well for us and  
our client.
