Measuring speed of web pages

I have various scripts doing the same task written in different scripting languages (php, ASP, ASP.NET and Oracle JSP). I need to measure the speed that the (Windows) server takes to send out the pages to work out which one works best. Does anyone have any ideas about how I might accomplish this?

I think the speeds from that are based on the speed that the page takes to download based on the size. As the four pieces of code produce exactly the same html output to the browser they'll come out with the same times. I want to know how long the page takes to parse.
A simple way that you can do it is via javascript (or any other web languages that you use). Basically I would suggest start the timer at the top of the page, stop at the bottom of the page (or even when it should really finish processing any server-side code, and then display the difference.

This is just a general idea and im sure there are a few better ways to do it using a scripting technology.
