There are two different times you are dealing with. Server processing time. User perceived time.
You can accurately measure the server processing time easily using cold fusion. grab the startTick at the top of your page. grab the endTick at the end of your page. display the difference as load time. But regardless of the actual time, your user is frustrated. Probably bored. Give him/her something to do while loading. Use cfflush to get partial page info to the user during the page load. Put up a "Loading..." message. Put up a "Loading..." animated gif (and replace it using javascript with "Done" at bottom of page. Throw up a fact about the data set (numbers, stats, last uploaded).
