title: window.performance.now() equivalent in nodejs?
body: <p>I think the question is straight forward.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for something that's similar to window.performance.now() in nodejs V8 engine.</p>
  
  <p>Right now I'm just using:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>var now = Date.now();
  //do some processing..
  console.log("time elapsed:", Date.now() - now);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But, I read that window.performance.now() is lot more accurate than using the date because of the what's defined <a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webperformance/basics/">here</a>.</p>
