Logically, yes, but you'd need to be hosting on loopback, otherwise the
timestamps would most probably be out of sync (not a problem for most). 
The initial question specified "from initial request through to
completion", which means that we've got to take into account transport
time, for the leaner nature of CSS-based markup to become apparent. 
Obviously, network conditions from loopback aren't an accurate
representation of the wider Internet...

How well synchronised can computers get with time servers?  I've never
really thought about it too hard... but in this case, the margin for
error would be in milliseconds, so it matters.
