I was thinking about this before but come to the personal conclusion that we're
probably
loosing to much vertical screen real estate, as you're saying especially
relevant in docked
mode.

The summary graph of individual requests unfortunately needs quite a lot of
vertical space
in the current layout - even more so with the recent additional dropdowns (for
request
info etc). If we could change the layout of the collapsible extra info
containers to use less
vertical space, I could see it working out.

That being said, in general I think the vertical space is pretty important when
looking at
both requests (file contents for instance) and the timeline to get the big
picture.

So here's another, pretty similar attempt, trying to be a pretty elegant
solution:

How about making the whole thing behave like the Finder in column mode? We kind
of
bundle the left menu and the time/size graphs visually, and as soon as you
click on a
request, a new horizontal column swipes in, showing the summary.
