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 ESBigInt
timestamps (in Node viaprocess.hrtime.bigint()),
or falls back to performance.now(), or lacking that, uses Date.now(). In all
cases, returns a (possibly rounded) nanosec-scale timestamp, either as bigint
or number.
- 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
STABLE - used in production
