If your script's executing at the very bottom of the document, you more than likely don't need the DOM ready event, because the DOM's already there and loaded.

Also, If you just want to do simple timing, you can do that in the console, although it looks like this is only useful if you don't then need to do anything with the value it returns: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/console#measuring_how_long_something_takes
