If you're taking requests, then can the Y axis start at zero, please?

And what is going on with that Y axis? There is no consistent spacing between the marks!

It's a bit hard for a log axis to start at zero.

Well start it at 0.00001 then. There's no need for a log axis, as all the values are within 2 orders of magnitude of each other - between 1 and 100. They will fit better, and will no longer be distorted, on a linear Y axis starting from zero.
