serial access on localhost too slow

[supermonster]

If I serialize put operation it's painfully slow. I am used to 25-30K operations per second on beanstalkd with php, this one operates at 10 operations per second. When I queue up several thousand operations in async mode then it's moderately fast.

Doing it asynchronously would be the natural way to do things with node. However, being so slow is not desirable. I haven't done any performance profiling work at all on this project yet. If you have any data on exactly what's slow for you, that would be helpful. Otherwise, I'll look into this & do some profiling.

Skipping some init code here's the meat:

put();

function put()
{
    var payload = JSON.stringify({a:1, b:"test"});
    beans.put(priority=0, delay=0, ttr=30, payload, function(err, job_id) {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log((new Date()).valueOf()/1000);
        setImmediate(put);
    });
}

result:

1375225841.397
1375225841.437
1375225841.477
1375225841.517
1375225841.557
1375225841.597
1375225841.637
1375225841.677
1375225841.717
1375225841.757
1375225841.797
1375225841.837

So you can see every synchronized request taking ~40ms. I've just started using the module. Am I doing something wrong?
