I think what you are saying is that the cost of buying hardware in the begining was much higher in terms of $/MH/S performance because they were only CPUs. So your ROI was closer to the same because it cost around $400/MH/S for CPU power rather than $1/MH/S for GPUs. I can make another chart showing ROI with those considerations in the future.
Please do. I'm really enjoying all these views into Bitcoin data.
