Hello,

I just started using SugarCRM an online CRM tool. I noticed that at  
the bottom of the page it would print out the following line for every  
page

Server response time: 0.315068 seconds.

Is there a way to do the same in Ruby on Rails?

Janak

Check out perform\_action\_with\_benchmark in  
actionpack/lib/action\_controller/benchmarking.rb

It contains a line of code like this:  
runtime = [Benchmark::measure{ perform\_action\_without\_benchmark  
}.real, 0.0001].max

You could add a line of code there that saved runtime to an instance  
variable, and put it in the ActionController scope, so that you could  
display it to the user. By default, it only goes to the log file.
