def format_perf_counter(start: float, end: float = None) -> str:
    """Format performance counter output.

    This function formats performance counter output based on the time elapsed. For ``t < 60 sec``, accuracy is
    increased whereas for durations above one minute a more user-friendly formatting is used.

    Args:
        start: Start time.
        end: End time. Set to now if not given.

    Returns:
        A formatted performance counter time.

    Examples:
        >>> from rics.utility.perf import format_perf_counter
        >>> format_perf_counter(0, 3131)  # 3131 seconds is about 52 minutes.
        '0:52:11'
        >>> format_perf_counter(0, 0.154)
        '0.154 sec'
