Create some benchmarks

I don't know if I'm doing this right, but the jsonStream.stringifyObject() stream seems to take about 150% of the time of a normal JSON.stringify().

var obj = require('./test.json');
var now = require('performance-now');
var fs = require('fs');
var jsonStream = require('JSONStream');

var t, j;

t = now();
j = JSON.stringify(obj);
console.log(now() - t);

t = now();
j = jsonStream.stringifyObject();

for (key in obj)
    j.write([key, obj[key]]);                                                                                
j.end();

console.log(now() - t);

I was hoping to speed up the process of gzipping objects by stringifying them. But even if the stream means I can start gzipping before the stream is done, the overhead is significant.

I am guessing this might only be beneficial for memory preservation purposes?

It would be nice to see some benchmarks for proper scenarios.

It's beneficial because it doesn't block, not because it's fast.
