--- Comment #19 from Noel Grandin <noelgrandin at gmail.com> ---
I suggest a handful of possibilities here:

(*) several of our chart2 types (e.g. pie) should not allow more than X
categories before just putting all remaining data into a "remaining" category

(*) possibly we should choose Data Range before choosing Chart Type

(*) if choosing a really large data range, the user should be warned that the
chart may be slow

(*) if the user does not explicitly choose a Data Range before opening the
chart wizard, we should only select the currently visible page or some other
small subset of the data

(*) some of the internals of the chart wizard should just "do nothing" or add
some warning message if presented with too much data e.g. if the user does
something that ends up creating > 1000 tick marks, just display a single tick
that says "too may ticks"

(*) there are definitely some bugs here e.g. the tick creation logic is
supposed to self-limit by increasing the tick-interval until the ticks stop
overlapping, but that is not happening here

Adding tag for UX team to check my suggestions
