[UPHPU] analyzing load time

Dan, you probably want Yahoo's YSlow or Google's Page Speed. If you  
think it's images, or a number of other front-end issues, a code  
profiler probably won't help you.

YSlow was created by Steve Souders, who now works for Google. He spoke  
at Google I/O this year about website performance and his talk is  
available on YouTube:
