Yves,  James,

I can see your reasoning, the page has expired a long time ago!

This meta header is used to tell the browser how to cache this document. 
  In this case, cache until 2000-01-01, or don't cache at all.  This is 
the most powerful way we have found of forcing a browser not to cache 
the CGI.  Some browsers (MSIE v4) can be fanatical about caching, which 
makes life for a CGI coder very hard.  Eg, having to add random numbers 
into every URL, ugh!

There would be a large number of web sites which would fail to work if 
this had other implications.

But maybe in the future a more dynamic date should be used.

However, to keep an open mind, there is no harm in trying to alter this.

Line 365 in perfgraph.c, try a more recent date:

Expires: Sat, 01 Jan 2005 01:01:01 GMT

It would be interesting to see if this did effect the code?
