FWIW, the best way I can see for illustrating the difference is that rawmonotonic time is for things that should be synchronized with the machines clock generators (e.g. A/V sync), while monotonic time is for the case where you want to synchronize with another machine (or the internet) that may have a slightly different clock generator but uses NTP to correct for that. In most cases the difference is irrelevant and we tend to use monotonic time by default.
