About
Timestamp getter wrapping (in order of preference) process.hrtime.bigint(), performance.now() or Date.now().
[!NOTE] The functions in this package have been extracted from @thi.ng/bench.
This package provides the following functions:
now()attempts to use high-res ESBigInttimestamps (in Node viaprocess.hrtime.bigint()), or falls back toperformance.now(), or lacking that, usesDate.now(). In all cases, returns a (possibly rounded) nanosec-scale timestamp, either asbigintornumber.timeDiff()function can be used to compute the difference between two such timestamp and return it as milliseconds.asMillis()takes a duration (either a number or bigint) in nanosec-scale and converts it to a JS number in milliseconds
