Hmmm, I've never had mpl crash and we routinely plot data sets with 10s of millions of points. We do a mixture of 2D scatter plots. 1D/2D histograms, and a few 3D plots. What type of plots are you generating? What type of data?

I never had the problem myself, but have seen a handful of user reports in mailing lists and SO. Perhaps recent releases are better performing. I used to use mpl regularly and found it very capable, but never liked the API.

I've edited my comment to make it more accurate.

What is the performance like on that?
