define()npm package and all bower components witch support CommonJS. like underscore, backbone, jQuery and so on.Download browserify-loader with npm or bower:
$ npm install browserify-loader
Put browserify-loader.js in your page:

browserify-loader provide a method to get its performance: define.performance()
Just think if there is no browserify-loader, where performance cost come from:
and then thinking cost in browserify-loader:
xhr loading time, roughly equals script load time
define time, concat code, insert script tag and so on
analysis module's dependences
resolve dependences' uri, include get package.json recursively
