Hey y’all,

I decided to hack up a small benchmarking plugin for Rails. This is  
pretty  
much like the Rails’ benchmarking you see in your logs, except that it  
benchmarks:

- the _entire_ process lifecycle, including …
- before filters
- after filters
- session initialization
- time spent in ActiveRecord::Base.find (more encompassing than DB  
access)

And it also makes adding new benchmarks incredibly simple. For example:

BenchmarkForRails.watch(“linking”, ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper,  
:link\_to)

Check it out and let me know where it should go from here!
