Description:
The single getLoadTime function allows you to easily return loadtimes from anywhere within your application. Utilizes the CF getTickCount function.

Return Values:
Returns a string.

Example:

<!--- begin measure app load time --->
<cfset request.tickBegin = getTickCount()>

<!--- do stuff --->
<cfloop index="x" from=1 to=15000></cfloop>

<!--- end measure app load time --->
<cfoutput>
<font size="-2">[Load Time: #getLoadTime("mil",request.tickBegin)#]</font>
<p>
<font size="-2">[Load Time: #getLoadTime("sec",request.tickBegin)#]</font>
</cfoutput>

Parameters:
