Say I wanted to define a function “start” and a function “stop”, and I wanted to output as accurately as possible the real time between the two functions getting called? The time elapsed will probably be in microseconds.

Create new Date objects at the beginning of each method. Use the
getTime()method to get the milliseconds value for the date. Subtract thestartvalue from theendvalue. That is the difference, in milliseconds.I’m not aware of any general way of getting better than millisecond time resolution in browser side javascript.
