FWIW, there was a 10x difference between Julia-0.4.0-dev-8fc5b4e605 (Apr 5
version) and Julia-0.4.0-dev-dea3d0e420.app (today). So makes sure which
nightly you are comparing.
(this is an Mac 10.9.5 early 2013 macbook pro)
Julia-0.4.0-dev-8fc5b4e605.app => 120 ms
Julia-0.4.0-dev-dea3d0e420.app => 17 ms
Python 2.7.8 shows 8ms similar to your numbers
