Currently the print method is synchronous and depending on the Linux board being used, it will take 10 to 20 milliseconds to display 80 characters on a 20x4 LCD. This is a little too long and goes against the grain of what's expected by Node users. An asynchronous print that leverages process.nextTick to avoid blocking the CPU for such long periods of time would be better.

In lcd v0.2.0 the print method is asynchronous 8aaaa84. Synchronous print is no longer supported.
