Package Exports
- performance-now
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (performance-now) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
performance-now 
Implements a function similar to performance.now (based on process.hrtime).
Modern browsers have a window.performance object with - among others - a now method which gives time in miliseconds, but with sub-milisecond precision. This module offers the same function based on the Node.js native process.hrtime function.
According to the High Resolution Time specification, the number of miliseconds reported by performance.now should be relative to the value of performance.timing.navigationStart. For this module, it's relative to when the time when this module got loaded. Right after requiring this module for the first time, the reported time is expected to have a near-zero value.
Using process.hrtime means that the reported time will be monotonically increasing, and not subject to clock-drift.
Example usage
var now = require("performance-now")
var start = now()
var end = now()
console.log(start.toFixed(3)) // ~ 0.05 on my system
console.log((start-end).toFixed(3)) // ~ 0.002 on my systemRunning the now function two times right after each other yields a time difference of a few microseconds. Given this overhead, I think it's best to assume that the precision of intervals computed with this method is not higher than 10 microseconds, if you don't know the exact overhead on your own system.
