I've seen people use console.count("method name") for some basic profiling, e.g.:

function foo() {
    console.count("foo")
    ...
}

function bar() {
    console.count("bar")
    ...
}

We could draw charts for console.count:

foo: 42 ****************
bar: 10 ****

I'd use it.

I don't know where would we put this in the UI though.
