How to do a micro-benchmark in node.js / unit test code

Question

I'm writing some unit tests using mocha and want to do a micro benchmark around a piece of code

Something like this

const startTime = getTime();
doOperations();
const endTime = getTime();
console.log(startTime - endTime);

is this possible in Javascript / nodejs / mocha?

I'd like to run this in my test environment just to check speed of some critical operations on nodejs server side

For just console logging , you could use console.time API alongwith console.timeLog and console.timeEnd
