If you're looking to detect slow database queries so that you know where to target further profiling efforts, you should probably start by looking Zend_Db_Profiler. It will allow you to time each query and optionally filter the results so you only display those that pass a specified time threshold or are a specific type of query (e.g. SELECTs only, not database connections themselves, etc.). You can configure the Zend_Db_Profiler to display inside Firebug for easy access during development, write out to a log file, etc.
For actual page profiling I'd recommend using the profiling facilities in Xdebug or Zend Profiler, but a simple timer could be build as a Zend_Controller_Plugin where in the routeStartup() you set a parameter to the value of microtime and then at the end of your layout, subtract the value from routeStartup() from the current value of microtime(). That would get you a rough idea of page load times, but wouldn't be completely accurate because it wouldn't include the very beginning of the request. That shouldn't be a problem, though, because that portion of the request should be minimal and very consistent. Hope that helps.
