Performance greatly depends on the bit size of the generated private key. With 1024 bits you get a key in 0.5s-2s, with 2048 bits it takes 8s-20s, on the same machine. As this will block the event loop while generating the key, make sure that's ok or to spawn a child process or run it inside a webworker.
