benchmark: refactor buffer benchmarks

Currently the buffer benchmarks take significantly too long to
complete. This drastically reduces the overall runtime by removing
obsolete checked variations and reducing the iteration count.

It also improves the benchmarks by removing the deprecated
`new Buffer(size)` usage and some other small improvements.
