Hi Joachim,


pros:
-does not flicker

cons:
-when scrolling with the scrollbar, booknames are messed up (black rectangles 
etc.)
-the size does not allow a quick overview to the results and the relation 
between books, translations etc., because you have to scroll too much to see 
all the bars -- imagine you search in 10 bibles in parallel!
-same color for all bars

suggestions:
-decrease the width of the bars
-set different colors
-maybe have the bars partially behind each other, with the smallest one 
first, the second one behind it and a little shifted to the right

I am not sure whether bars are the best solution, because they take away a 
lot of space.
It should be easy to overview and interpret the graphs. Maybe you should have 
a window opened with the analysis instead of the small panel on the 
searchdialog?
