I bundled up the functionality that Gavin posted and Randal modified.
Now, people in my situation ("Surely there must be a profiler
somewhere!") have a tool they can easily find.


Template::Timer provides inline timings of the template processing
througout your code. It's an overridden version of Template::Context
that wraps the process() and include() methods.

Using Template::Timer is simple.

    my %config = ( # Whatever your config is
        INCLUDE_PATH    => "/my/template/path",
        COMPILE_EXT     => ".ttc",
        COMPILE_DIR     => "/tmp/tt",
    );

    if ( $development_mode ) {
        $config{ CONTEXT } = Template::Timer->new( %config );
    }

    my $template = Template->new( \%config ); 

Now when you process templates, HTML comments will get embedded in your
output, which you can easily grep for.

    <!-- TIMER START: process mainmenu/mainmenu.ttml -->
    <!-- TIMER START: include mainmenu/cssindex.tt -->
    <!-- TIMER START: process mainmenu/cssindex.tt -->
    <!-- TIMER END: process mainmenu/cssindex.tt (0.017279 seconds) -->
    <!-- TIMER END: include mainmenu/cssindex.tt (0.017401 seconds) -->

    ....

    <!-- TIMER END: process mainmenu/footer.tt (0.003016 seconds) -->
    <!-- TIMER END: include mainmenu/footer.tt (0.003104 seconds) -->
    <!-- TIMER END: process mainmenu/mainmenu.ttml (0.400409 seconds) --> 

Note that since INCLUDE is a wrapper around PROCESS, calls to INCLUDEs
will be doubled up, and slightly longer than the PROCESS call.
