See the very lengthy discussion here:

> Hi, My first try with Julia was to compare its speed on Matrix Operations (Linear Algebra oriented) to MATLAB. [Benchmark MATLAB & Julia for Matrix Operations](https://github.com/RoyiAvital/MatlabJuliaMatrixOperationsBenchmark) As any test, it is far from being perfect, but it is telling something about the picture. Take this benchmark in its context, it’s not about which is faster in general but which is faster in the context of Matrix and Linear Algebra operations. Few remarks: This is my first time coding with Julia, I’d be happy to hear if I did somethi…

Basically, most points there apply here too.
