Add this to /page/html/header.phtml

$stimer = explode( ' ', microtime() );
$stimer = $stimer[1] + $stimer[0];
Mage::register('stimer', $stimer);

Add this to /page/html/footer.phtml

$etimer = explode( ' ', microtime() );
$etimer = $etimer[1] + $etimer[0];
echo '';
printf( "Script timer: %f seconds.", ($etimer-Mage::registry('stimer')) );
echo '';

And disable Cache Control.

Example of output: Script timer: 1.778382 seconds.
