Hey Johan,
A Hudson plugin would be great. A short term solution, though, would
be to simply use the existing support for Hudson graphing from
properties files: http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Plot+Plugin
At a previous job we used to use this plugin to plot web page response
times, and it served its purpose great.
