By justmoon:

Benchmark for ECDSA signature verification using OpenSSL, first with compressed public key then with uncompressed public key.

Some test runs:

```
compressed key x 1,095 ops/sec ±2.37% (79 runs sampled)
uncompressed key x 1,188 ops/sec ±1.41% (79 runs sampled)
Fastest is uncompressed key
moon@clymene:/atlas/www/node-bitcoin-p2p$ node benchmark/compressedkey.js
compressed key x 1,136 ops/sec ±0.90% (82 runs sampled)
uncompressed key x 1,216 ops/sec ±0.76% (81 runs sampled)
Fastest is uncompressed key
moon@clymene:/atlas/www/node-bitcoin-p2p$ node benchmark/compressedkey.js
compressed key x 1,145 ops/sec ±1.16% (81 runs sampled)
uncompressed key x 1,223 ops/sec ±0.67% (81 runs sampled)
Fastest is uncompressed key
```

Tested on Ubuntu 11.10 Server x64, Intel Core Duo E8400, single thread.
