 Tim, we ended up with some nextTick benchmarks a while back. Here is my 
latest output for node v0.8.11:

loopsPerSecond: 431034482.8, nextTicksPerSecond: 1616854.4, ratio: 266.6x 
times faster
loopsPerSecond: 434782608.7, nextTicksPerSecond: 1580382.8, ratio: 275.1x 
times faster
loopsPerSecond: 432900432.9, nextTicksPerSecond: 1582450.1, ratio: 273.6x 
times faster
loopsPerSecond: 436681222.7, nextTicksPerSecond: 1591237.3, ratio: 274.4x
