It's funny you should ask about this, Kevin, because I'm in the middle of
incorporating something similar into the next major release of the URSC
toolkit.
Basically, what you are asking is for a comparison of the two contracts'
rate of change. There are many issues involved in plotting a valid
comparison (such as a synchronized starting point and a valid % RoC) and
the URSC toolkit covers all the important ones.
