Yes, this exactly. I wrote Crabby [1] a few months back to schedule automated page testing using Chrome and webdriver but doing anything automated with Chrome is really atrocious. You can't expect to load more than one page every 10-15 seconds on the average 8GB instance and it occasionally crashes or otherwise stops working completely. I ended up writing a simple check using Go's net/http library to do basic performance profiling but it doesn't measure DOM loading like the Chrome checks do. Such a bummer What I really want is an easy, cross-platform way to collect the network timings for each object like you get in Chrome's dev tools network waterfall graphs.
