Add perf measuring suite

[JustinTulloss]

I was playing around with this in an effort to start supporting the encoding spec. That ended up being a horribly slow bust, but I thought this perf tool might be useful.

For string-heavy stuff, JSON is hard to beat because of how it's integrated with the JS engine. But for number and array-heavy loads, msgpack-js is much faster in my testing.

Yeah, that's awesome. Unfortunately there are a lot of string-heavy
payloads out there.

I'm looking forward to the encoding spec getting some implementations.

Thank you! I intend to use msgpack for loading 3D data in browser, ie. loads of float arrays. I did a little benchmark with 1e6 float array:

• File size
  • JSON: 20M
  • msgpack: 4M
• Decode per second
  • JSON: 4.5 ops/s
  • msgpack: 460 ops/s
