Ran this to benchmark newer NodeJS versions - perf issues seem largely resolved!

Hey folks,

I stumbled across this wondering whether async_hooks was still slow or not, since a lot of blog posts from 3-5 years ago suggest that it is.

I checked this repo out and it still runs! [Thank you for creating it!] Here are the results from newer NodeJS versions on my M1 Macbook Pro. Based on these results, I think the performance issues have been mitigated to the point that async_hooks are likely worth the overhead in most scenarios.
