If you need a higher data rate then a different sensor could be an alternative.
The DHT22 is not state-of-the-art anymore (proprietary protocol, power consumption, low temperature accuracy, no heating support to prevent condensation). It was one of the first affordable humidity sensors but today there are many better alternatives with Espruino support (SHT2x, SHT3x, HTU21D, BME280, ..).
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

One of the cheapest is the HTU21D/SHT21: http://www.ebay.com/itm/112049178633
