If you're using bash, try something like this:
PS1='@$SECONDS $ '
PS4='@$SECONDS: '
set -x
That will show you the number of seconds since the shell started up in
your prompt, and before running each command. Plain seconds are nice
and easy to subtract; if you'd prefer a different format, see the
PROMPTING section of the bash(1) manpage.
