The test is supposed to measure the performance of the base64 encoder
so move the Buffer#write() calls out of the benchmark section.
The overhead of the calls isn't terrible (about 1-3%) but having
unrelated activity in a micro-benchmark is never a good idea.

compare() works like String.localeCompare such that:
Buffer.compare(a, b) === a.compare(b);
equals() does a native check to see if two buffers are equal.

Increase the performance and simplify the logic of Buffer#write{U}Int*
and Buffer#read{U}Int* methods by placing the byte manipulation code
directly inline.
Also improve the speed of buffer-write benchmarks by creating a new
call directly to each method by using Function() instead of calling by
buff[fn].
