Thanks for your answer - i'm aware that a profiler like apd is probably 
the best method for benchmarking scripts since calling a custom 
stopwatch function takes time too and distorts the result if you really 
want to microoptimize your scripts.

But profilers are usualy not available on any host, so simply logging a 
few steps with t3lib_div::devLog() plus the elapsed time helps alot if 
you want to find real performance bottlenecks of a script.

Thats why i asked, if there is a function
