Add benchmark testing

[pbgnz]

Hi Theofanis,

I am interested in helping you benchmark your library.

I was thinking of using the Go testing package built-in benchmark facility to test your code, similar to this post.

What do you think ?

Sure go ahead. Try to get a few extra hints from this guide here:
https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Performance

For example:
heap allocations and unnecessary escapes
Garbage collection

@theodesp Any luck with any benchmarks?
