Which compiler do you mean? Most JavaScript implementations are
interpreters. And I never heard of this kind of tracking metric, but I
guess it might be possible in some browsers.


This is not of much value to anyone - I can't imagine why you'd want
to know this? If you're interested in performance, it's more useful to
track the number of bytes transferrred between the client and server.
This includes JavaScript, CSS, HTML, images, etc. There are a lot of
good tools for this, such as Microsoft's Fiddler.


The speed of JavaScript execution is normally irrelevant because it
only services the UI and the human speed is slower than it is. But it
matters to people who design browsers and JavaScript interpreters, of
course.
