One good thing its for, is if you're working on a box that you CAN'T get
debug stuff on.. throw some <CFSETs> in at various places setting variables
to GetTickCount(), then comparing the differences. You can track how far it
takes your page to get from point A to B, B to C, C to D, etc. and identify
slow areas that need work.
