The fundamental problem with XYSeries is that they display everything.  So if you have an O(n) display issue which grows as n grows.  That's the reason behind MASON's DataCuller mechanism.  You're going to need to do a similar procedure for a stacked timeseries.

I have looked over DataCuller and I think you can use exactly the same code.  See how it's used in TimeSeriesAttributes.  Basically the DataCuller is first asked if it thinks stuff should be culled (because there are too many points).  If so, it's then asked which points to remove.  [You could give it a single time series row in your dataset probably.]  Then TimeSeriesAttributes goes through and deletes all the points the DataCuller suggested.

Whenever you add a value to any series with a previously unseen x-value (e.g. x=1), it adds a dummy entry to all the other series. Then, when you try to add a value (at x=1) to another series, it sees the dummy value already there (at x=1) and throws a SeriesException: X-value already exists.
