There are many aspects to "user-perspective" usability testing, and eValid can apply to most of them because eValid is built as a browser with "instrumentation" built inside.
For example, if you want to know how fast certain page elements load this can be done with the internal event time, which reports times to 1 msec resolution during the test playback process.
Or, if you are measuring the sizes of page components, the eValid EventLog (with the
Detailed Timings option turned on) will tell you how long each page element/component/file took to download.
The list goes on...these are just two examples.
The main point is, with a fully instrumented browser pretty much any kind of experiment you can imagine can be done.
