If you are running x-cart 4x and want to display the load time you can
add this to auth.php (in your x-Cart root dir). After if you view the
source at the very bottom there will be a comment showing the load
times.

Just add this to the top of your auth.php file in the section you wish
to check runtimes on.

Code:

function func_microtime2()
{
   list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime());
   return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}
define('START_TIME',func_microtime2());

The times it will show will be the most accurate since the start time is
recorded very near the beginning of the execution of your scripts. 

This won't work with the html catalog though.

Here's a complete tutorial you can use to speed up your installation:

There is no need to hardcode additional functions into X-Cart to
implement the benchmark. 

1. In X-Cart v4.0.x:

Append the GET variable benchmark=Y to the store URL, so it will look
like:
http://yourdomain.com/home.php?benchmark=Y
If you open the source of this page you'll see benchmarking report at
the very end of the page.

2. In X-Cart 4.1.x:

Edit file 'top.inc.php' and replace the line:

define('BENCH', false);

with this one:

define('BENCH', true);

Additionally replace the line:

define('BENCH_SIMPLE', true);

with this one:

define('BENCH_SIMPLE', false);

You'll see benchmarking report at the bottom of your pages.

Sincerely your,
