use the Date object. when no parameters are sent to the constructor, it uses 
the current time and date settings of the client machine. new a Date object 
and snag its time, then do the same latter to freeze that instance in time. 
take the difference and you have the elapsed time in milliseconds. try this 
script to roughly show a page's rendering time:

<script>
var start = (new Date()).getTime();
function onload(){
  var elapsed = (new Date()).getTime() - start;
  alert("Page rendered in " + elapsed + " milliseconds.");
}
</script>
