is fdir faster? about readdir-cluster

[balupton]

Actually, the new recursive option in readdir is faster:

Rewrote readdir-cluster with v6, and yes, fdir takes 1/5 of the time of readdir-cluster, so it is faster. However fdir has the same performance as recursive option with the readdir builtin.

Mentioned this in the readme.

@balupton Is this actually true? According to the fdir benchmarks, fs.readdir is %83.27 slower… What did you find?

See this project's readme for the benchmarks that I ran.
