Is it possible to precompile a function in Julia?

General Usage Performance

  1. Precompilation only speeds up code loading (i.e. startup time), not runtime performance. All Julia functions are compiled the first time you call them (with a particular set of argument types), and thereafter are fast.

  2. Precompilation is something that happens for code that you put into a package, which you should do for any longer-term development effort in Julia. See also Best practise: organising code in Julia - #2 by stevengj
