Title: V1 uuid benchmarks

I've benchmarked the various uuid libs on my 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro against the most recent node versions from the 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 branches. All values are averages over 10 runs of the benchmark.js script.

Just have a look at https://github.com/ctavan/node-uuid/blob/401fc1b4d49b3a9ebaf0ae61b402fbfa1126281e/test/benchmark/bench.png

While the libuuid-wrapper has become even slower we're at almost 2M v1 UUIDs on node 0.6.2!! So the RFC-limit isn't that far away any more ;)

Interestingly v1 uuids in our lib are now being generated faster than v4 uuids. That came with your recent changes.

I don't know whether you want to include these benchmarks in the main repository but I thought you might find them interesting as well.
