Block Timer is a module for analyzing page block performance.

It will display a small text box underneath each block title showing the time (in milliseconds) it took to render that block. Hovering your mouse over the text box will display a popup window with some more useful detail to help you analyze the load time of your pages.

On a complex page where you may have over 20 to 30 different blocks generated by the same module (ie. Views, Superfish), it is difficult to isolate a slow rendering block. Block Timer will help identify the performance causing block which you can then analyze further using XHProf and/or Display Query Log in the Devel module.

Block Timer should only be enabled in a development or test environment since it alters the display of your pages and it will have a performance impact, albeit slight, on the total page rendering.
