<div>{{APIRef("High Resolution Timing")}}</div>

<p>O método <code><strong>performance.now()</strong></code> retorna {{domxref("DOMHighResTimeStamp")}}, medido em milisegundos, com precisão de cinco milésimos de milissegundo (5 microsegundos).</p>

<p>O valor retornado representa o tempo decorrido desde o <strong>time origin </strong>(the {{domxref("PerformanceTiming.navigationStart")}} property). Em um web worker, o tempo inicial é o momento em que o contexto da execução(e.g. thread ou processo) é criado. Em uma janela, é o tempo em que o usuário iniciou a navegação neste documento. Tenha em mente que:</p>

<ul>
 <li>Em workers dedicados criados do {{domxref("Window")}}, o valor neste worker será inferior a <code>performance.now()</code> na window que gerou este worker. Normalmente é o mesmo que <code>t0</code> no contexto principal, mas esse valor foi alterado.</li>
 <li>Em shared workers ou service workers, o valor do worker pode ser maior em relação ao contexto principal poir estas janelas podem ser criadas depois destes workers.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="Exemplo">Exemplo</h2>

<pre class="brush: js">var t0 = performance.now();
doSomething();
var t1 = performance.now();
console.log("Call to doSomething took " + (t1 - t0) + " milliseconds.");
</pre>

<p>Unlike other timing data available to JavaScript (for example <a href="/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/now"><code>Date.now</code></a>), the timestamps returned by <code>Performance.now()</code> are not limited to one-millisecond resolution. Instead, they represent times as floating-point numbers with up to microsecond precision.</p>

<p>Also unlike <code>Date.now()</code>, the values returned by <code>Performance.now() </code>always increase at a constant rate, independent of the system clock (which might be adjusted manually or skewed by software like NTP). Otherwise, <code>performance.timing.navigationStart + performance.now() </code>will be approximately equal to<code> Date.now()</code>.</p>
