RE: Calculating Page Load Time

>>>>>>>>
@Ryan Hicks - Thank you for your suggestions. Everything makes sense (and at
least this way I would roughly get an idea of the page load time). Or at
least when the page is usable by the user. Just one thing - what do you mean
by "all content is download and initialized"? Download is fine but could you
please elaborate on initialized?
<<<<<<<<

This has been touched on with other responses already, but "initialize time"
refers to the time it takes for the client's machine to process the data
that it just downloaded.  For the majority of JavaScript files, this time is
measured in a few milliseconds, but for some, it can become significant.
I've seen this become significant where the .js file does a lot of DOM
manipulation while it executes.

In short, first the browser downloads the file, then it needs to think about
what all that file is telling it to do.  Onload happens after the browser's
figured it all out.
