💪 Benchmarks

I have created main.js and main.rs for synthetic examples of performance. They load in a full reconstruction of the Lumbridge mapsquare (64x64) tiles with full clipping flags set. Then in a loop it runs through 100k pathfinder requests to a destination +10 tiles North with a single access point to the destination.
