* since we feel it does not add too much value but it will add code to mantain
* we won't include it.
*
* I create this gist just to help those who want to auto-refresh JWTs.

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns                     on recent CPU
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns                     14x L1 cache
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns                     20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs 4X memory

How to use optional arguments in node.js
// example function where arguments 2 and 3 are optional
function example( err, optionalA, optionalB, callback ) {
// retrieve arguments as array
var args = [];
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
args.push(arguments[i]);
}
// first argument is the error object
