- `time.time()` is the system time. "it's great" (tm) however it is not reliable for measuring time spent. it gives you the "current" time, but oh... time can move backwards (thanks NTP). - `time.monotonic()` is a monotonic time source. "it's great" (tm) it only goes forward, making measurements a peach. however it cannot be used as a reference point.
