Best practice method to find execution time in Zend Framework

Question

I'm interested in the best/standard way to find the execution time of my Zend Framework app. Currently I'm starting the timer on the public/index.php then registering it in Zend_Registry, for a later call, which the layout then uses to calculate the total time.

Is there a better way to do this? I know this isn't even entirely accurate, as there is still (or at least, can be) some execution in the postDispatch() which will be ran after the view is rendered.

You might want to look into enabling a real code profiler like XHProf.
