Fasterfox shows the loading time. It is intended to compare it's  
optimizations. I strongly recommend limiting it's optimizations to  
within the RFC specs. I've used it for exactly this reason (we were  
comparing some database optimizations dev vs. prod. with very high  
loading times). http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/ Check the pref for  
"Enable Page Load Timer" in the "Fasterfox" tab.
