Best way to conduct timing tests

I'd like to write an AppleScript that tells MoviePlayer to:

1) Start playing a video from the web at a particular URL
2) Time how long it takes between the time the request was made until the
video starts playing.
3) Time how long it takes between the time the request was made until the
video finishes playing.

I think I have the controls I need, via Applescript to do this, however I'm
not sure the best approach. For instance, if I have Applescript in a
repeat-loop checking when the video starts, wouldn't that impact the
performance of the Quicktime Player?

Would I have to create a separate "movie-state-checking" applet that has it's
property set to "stay open" - - - as a means of avoiding a repeat-loop in
Applescript?
