window.performance.now() equivalent in nodejs?

Question

I think the question is straight forward.

I'm looking for something that's similar to window.performance.now() in nodejs V8 engine.

Right now I'm just using:-

var now = Date.now();
//do some processing..
console.log("time elapsed:", Date.now() - now);

But, I read that window.performance.now() is lot more accurate than using the date because of the what's defined here.

Node v8.5.0 has added Performance Timing API, which includes the performance#now(), e.g.

const {
  performance
} = require('perf_hooks');

console.log('performance', performance.now());
