Maybe the title of the post should be modified accordingly : “Julia is 500 % faster than SAS We need slower Julia please (it gets confusing)”.

I hope the OP will forgive me this bad joke, but I wonder how many threads claiming that “_Julia was slower than XXX_” I have seen so far on discourse. Almost always with the same conclusion…

Disclaimer : “I have already wrote a similarly wrong thread [Sum performance for Array{Float64,2} elements](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/sum-performance-for-array-float64-2-elements/10873)” 😊
