Select lines and see execution time for them? (VisualVM or built-in?)

I would love to do a basic profiling more easily from within the editor, but specific to elapsed time analyses from sections of code.

I would love to either position a start and end point, and get an automatic printout of elapsed time, or even simply select a bunch of lines and easily determine how long they take in real time.

I have home-grown timers that work well for this, but I'm looking for a speedy/integrated solution for such a task.

Do either VisualVM(plugin) or IDEA(by itself) have such an ability?

THANKS!
