Documentation

I was trying to figure out the distinction between perf_counter and monotonic, and it's not entirely clear to me, even after reading PEP 418. I think it is monotonic, but I'm not sure.

So I'm invoking the Python gods here: what's the actual wanted behavior here? And why isn't it more clearly stated in the docs?

Thanks!
