I'm hoping that browsers will soon support WebTiming: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebTiming/ We'll add support into boomerang for those APIs

However, until then, you can still measure the time from first-byte to onload by starting a timer at the top of your page. It's crude, but it works.

The IE9 preview-release they talked about at Velocity does and it sounds like other browser manufacturers are in given the discussion on the browser panel, but as usual that means it's 2 years before it's useful.
