dashboard's monitor page looks weird when returning from system page

[sstoneb]

When first loading up the dashboard, OR when returning to the monitor page from the system page, the three graphs display for a few seconds in some sort of "default" state before any of the dashboard's formatting is applied to them (aspect ratio, scaling, titles, etc.). This is... annoying. And could be disorienting for some users, possibly even making them (briefly) think they did something wrong or the software crashed.

I think I'm attaching a screenshot to show this...
