As vince says line charts are fun. (especially with log scales as - notappropriate). But my all time favourite is traffic lights.Three values red means bad, green means good amber means - well no-one really cares. Kind of like tri-value logic in programming.

Me ever since coming across Connor's hit ratio beauty at http://www.oracledba.co.uk/ I'd go for hit ratios. whats the point of a performance indicator if you can't exceed it every time.
