Buffer api for conversion from/to ArrayBuffer #535
Description
Js side conversion (like new Uint8Array(buffer) or new Buffer(bufferView)) is really slow cause it treats input as an integer array rather than a pointer to a memory address.
In older version of node.js which is compiled with v8 that does not support ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferViews are constructed with node's Buffer, so there is no such problem.
Could we afford a new api like:
var buf = new Buffer(1<<28);
var arrBuf = buf.toArrayBuffer();
var buf2 = Buffer.fromArrayBuffer(arrBuf);
