Performance

Here is the benchmark script used in test:

• https://github.com/binpack/binpack-php/blob/master/bench/bench.php.

We test the the following methods:

	default	binpack	msgpack
serialize	serialize()	bin_encode()	msgpack_serialize()
unserialize	unserialize()	bin_decode()	msgpack_unserialize()

We test the following data types:

• null
• bool
• integer
• float
• string
• array
• map
• mix

In PHP 5.5.9, We got this result:
