Generate useful timing values by taking differences between the results of GetTickCount() at successive points of page processing.

Example

<!--- This example calls GetTickCount to track execution time --->

<html>

<body>

<!--- Setup timing test --->

<cfset iterationCount = 1000>



<!--- Time an empty loop with this many iterations --->

<cfset tickBegin = GetTickCount()>

<CFLOOP Index = i From = 1 To = #iterationCount#></CFLOOP>

<cfset tickEnd = GetTickCount()>

<cfset loopTime = tickEnd - tickBegin>



<!--- Report --->

<cfoutput>Loop time (#iterationCount# iterations) was: #loopTime#

 milliseconds</cfoutput>
