You could certainly create a custom RequestProcessor that includes timing
if you wanted to, but filters are a much more elegant mechanism to
accomplish this particular thing (timing a request).

We shouldn't assume that Struts (or any other framework) is going to meet
100% of your needs.  After all, Struts doesn't try to solve your
persistence-tier problems; it comfortably integrates with anything you
would like to use.  In the same way, you can easily integrate non-Struts
tag libraries, non-Struts XML parsing and processing, non-Struts servlets,
non-Struts filters ... we should enjoy the synergy of using these things
together instead of hoping for a "mother of all frameworks" solution that
satisfies every single need in one package.
