open-simplex-noise is not the fastest noise library #3

I don't know if speed is even a design goal for you, so feel free to close this issue if it's not. 😄

Basically, I decided to evaluate a handful of different noise generators while profiling texture-generation in one of my own projects and thought you might be interested to see how this library stacks up if nothing else.

There are no doubt improvements could be made, but essentially no, performance alone is not the goal of this library.

See the wiki entry OpenSimplex noise and the related links for why it exists, and what trade-offs it has been designed for.
