help measuring time for img creating...

I have a script that generates quite a complex report... at this script I call several times another script that generates images (of course based on the main report script)... I'd like some ideas on how I can measure the WHOLE time it took the build the entire page... because the images are not accounted for in the main script... it always returns something like 1 or 2 seconds when it actually took 30 or 40 seconds to finish... any ideas? _____________________________ .
