I would think you could easily do this by using "time wget <yoururl>" and setting it up as a cron job to report the time taken back to your Xymon server ... setting up the graph would be a little more difficult, but is possible using NCV or other options through your Xymon server.

Or:

curl -o /dev/null -w "%{time_total} - %{time_starttransfer}\n" $URL 2>/dev/null | tail -1

and evaluate the result. This eliminates all other variables such as retries, redirects DNS lookup times, and so on.
