A nice tool is the Firebug for Firefox extension. Use the Net tab and select
the "Disable Browser Cache" option. Here are example runs for vector and
monobook:

Ideally you would run this on many browsers and many operating systems, and
multiple times for each one. Unfortunately this means you'll need a different
benchmarking tool for each browser. Let's go ahead and test my setup for
starters, which is Kubuntu Natty with Firefox 4.0.1 on an Intel Core 2 Duo @
3Ghz.
According to the results below the differences between the two skins are
certainly not perceptually discernible. Vector is .27 seconds slower on average
using the Nuclear program of Iran page but we're talking about a page that
already takes about four seconds to load.
