Depends on what you actually want to measure. As you already point
out, measuring AJAX apps is different. Here's a simple approach that I
would take - I admit it's not perfect, but at least it's simple :-)

- Decide on a scenario
- Execute the scenario on both
- Measure total time
- Measure total bandwidth (e.g. using Wireshark, which can do packet
filtering, or a similar tool.)

This won't give me individual time/bandwidth per request, but this is
a simple first approach I would take. For me, this measurement is
often more important than individual times (which are especially hard
to compare, if you have multiple parallel requests in your AJAX apps).
