Note also that your benchmarks are incorrect since Julia optimizes your loops away because your functions don’t return anything, and so independently by the magnitude of a and b it takes a small amount of ns:


julia> @benchmark test_1(1000000000,10000000000)
BenchmarkTools.Trial: 10000 samples with 1000 evaluations.
 Range (min … max):  4.700 ns … 73.700 ns  ┊ GC (min … max): 0.00% … 0.00%
 Time  (median):     5.700 ns              ┊ GC (median):    0.00%
 Time  (mean ± σ):   5.514 ns ±  1.185 ns  ┊ GC (mean ± σ):  0.00% ± 0.00%
