in reply to Transaction time for LWP::UserAgent GET
you might consider using a module or executable inside your code instead, to retrieve page and content graphics etc (specify one level deep). I believe such module/executables are plenty abound. This will retrieve into a directory/files and will not have nasty side effects if the page is huge. You'll be measuring more accurately a browser experience. Your mileage may vary when particular sites require javascript/flash/frames etc, as your code would only receive the page for a non-javascript/non-flash/no-frames browser request.
