Once upon a time there was MediaWiki were information were expressive enough so that one would not need to consult a wiki itself. In earlier versions of MW one could find a note about the page loading "<!-- Served in 1.849 secs. -->" but since MW 1.24 this is no longer for some reason and is replaced by cryptic "<script>if(window.mw){ mw.config.set({"wgBackendResponseTime":2097}); }</script>" inclusion. I assume wgBackendResponseTime is measured in sec which is not clear because it doesn't say so where in previous versions it was clear (and expressive enough) as to what is displayed. If you have to make things harder for people at least make it expressive enough "wgBackendResponseTimeInSeconds" and don't let the user wild guessing what the numbers are about.
