Yeah, if it's not reloading the entire page that Watir is not going to
automatically give you a time
And getting an exact time is going to be very tricky since as far as I
know watir can only sleep in whole second increments. So if you
devise some kind of loop that waits for a particular element to be
present, you are not going to get performance numbers that mean much.
You're probably still going to need to devise a means to tell when
it's done updating the page, and wait for that to happen before the
script proceeds. But performance metrics will have to come from an
outside source, such as fiddler or some other monitor looking at the
HTTP traffic.
