An advantage of log charts is that a given distance on the chart equals a given percentage change. The one place where linear makes more sense is on BP charts. Since they are aleady a percentage, applying the log scale is like having a double logarithm, with the result that variations near the top get rather squished compared to ones near the bottom.
