Syslinux - Mar 2010 - Req: download timer

Does anyone have a module they have wrote and are willing to share to 
measure the time an image takes to download?

As my last post indicates, I am experimenting with gPXE, and am 
interested in benchmarking tftp/lighttpd/apache for transfers of images 
/ files.

I sadly lack any real programming skills, and get called away from my 
desk enough that sitting there with a stop watch isn't really practical.

Any help is appreciated.

You might not be aware that gPXE has its own general discussion 
mailing-list.  You might be able to benefit from the experience over 
there for your gPXE-related questions.

gPXE has a 'time' command that you can use to time commands, such as 
downloads.  Try visiting ROM-O-Matic and looking into the advanced 
options, particularly the TIME_CMD compile option.  Also available in 
gpxe/src/config/general.h
