  One suggestion: maybe it's worth plotting also the "second best"
  algorithm and the "distance between the best and the second best", to
  graphically see if it's worth the effort to discern between two given
  algorithms within certain ranges.

It would be nice, but I am not sure how to fit that too into the
picture.

I suppose one may ask to show just Alg-A and Alg-B, and use a greyscale
betwen them to show the speed difference.

But that doesn't generalise to 15 algorithms...
