Hi Nicol,

I have moved this discussion to the mapserver-dev list since others 
might be interested in it.

I have also CC'd Thomas Bonfort who is the author of the chart rendering 
code, he will be able to comment on the possible options. I think 
treating the charts as labels/symbols and caching them to allow 
collision detection is something he had in mind but that was not part of 
the initial implementation.
