Description: A high performance eventemitter for Node.js                                                     

It has been micro-optimized for various code paths making this, one of,                                     

if not the fastest EventEmitter available for Node.js and browsers. The module                              

is API compatible with the EventEmitter that ships by default with Node.js but                              

there are some slight differences.                                                                          

.                                                                                                           

It's a drop in replacement for existing EventEmitters, but just faster.                                     

Free performance, who wouldn't want that> The EventEmitter is written                                       

in EcmaScript 3 so it will work in the oldest browsers and node versions that                               

you need to support.                                                                                        

.                                                                                                           

I have most of the work done for the package, the only issue I've run into is with the tests. There is a dependency on assume, which has not been packaged yet.
