Julia Binary Heap Benchmark

Are you launching Julia with -O3?

Btw. this is what I get on my MacBook (i5):

░ tamasgal@greybox.local:~/tmp
░ 11:05:49 1 > g++ -O3 heap.cpp && ./a.out
Done in 825

░ tamasgal@greybox.local:~/tmp
░ 11:05:56 > julia -O3 heap.jl
ndrsh
  824.606 ms (2 allocations: 38.15 MiB)

and on my workhorse (Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6246R CPU @ 3.40GHz - 32 cores):

tgal@pi1080:~/tmp/binary-heap-benchmark/cpp$ g++ -O3 heap.cpp && ./a.out
