Can't speak for Chrome, sounds like a bug. But Firefox defaults to 
scaling pictures to fit within the window. If you mouse over the image, 
you'll get a magnifying glass pointer. Click on the image, and it will 
redisplay at full size. Scroll to the very top, and you will find a 
little bit of text, a single red pixel representing the latency of cache 
memory, a dozen or so red pixels representing the latency of RAM, and a 
monsterously huge block of thousands and thousands and thousands of red 
pixels representing the latency of hard drives.

Feel free to scroll and count the pixels :-)
