Page generation time - ASP.Net MVC

Question

I\'m looking for a way to track how long it took for a page to be generated by the server. I know I can use Trace to track this but I need a way to display this per page.

It will depend on where you want to include this information. For example you could write an http handler that will display the render time after the tag:

public class RenderTimeModule : IHttpModule
{
    public void Init(HttpApplication context)
    {
        context.BeginRequest += (sender, e) =>
        {
            var watch = new Stopwatch();
            var app = (HttpApplication)sender;
            app.Context.Items["Stopwatch"] = watch;
            watch.Start();
        };

        context.EndRequest += (sender, e) =>
        {
            var app = (HttpApplication)sender;
            var watch = (Stopwatch)app.Context.Items["Stopwatch"];
            watch.Stop();
            var ts = watch.Elapsed;
            string elapsedTime = String.Format("{0} ms", ts.TotalMilliseconds);
            app.Context.Response.Write(elapsedTime);
        };
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
    }
}

If you want to display render time somewhere in the middle of the html page then this render time will not account for the total page render time.
