I had some success with Apache::GD::Graph.

It works only on Apache servers and you must of course have the possibility to install this mod-perl Apache module, as well as making some changes to the config-file.

To use it you include an <img>tag with the datapoints, labels, type of graph, ... as parameters of the URL pointing to the virtual location of this module.

It's quite fast and it caches your graphs so it will not recalculate the graph if it is not necessary.
