Monotonically increasing time in JavaScript?

What’s the best way to get monotonically increasing time in JavaScript? I’m hoping for something like Java’s System.nanoTime().

Javascript itself does not have any functionality to access the nanoTime. You might load a java-applet to aqcuire that information, like benchmark.js has done. Maybe @mathias can shed some light on what they did there…
