Performance considerations
The Template:Brick_chart draws the chart by using div-tags ("<div>") to show colored bars for line segments of the calculated length. The template can format a brick chart within 1/6 second, so 3 brick charts could appear within a page and add only 1/2 second to reformat, or edit-preview. The initial creation of the template occurred in August 2009; however, the alignment for display problems with overlapped bars was fixed in September 2012, over 3 years later.
