Hello colleague,

you already gave the answer yourself:

*Because all the programs that i implement are faster in Matlab than in 
Julia.*

you just need to write faster julia programs (OK, that's not very 
helpful...).
Although there are fast and slow computers there isn't the equivalent of 
fast or slow programming languages. Julia isn't a one2one matlab 
replacement with different speed, it's a completly different approach to 
write efficient programms. In Matlab a lot of implict computing (and 
implicit loops) is done by calling library functions (with matrices and 
other 'big' data fields) while in julia a lot of explicit loops and 
operations are favoured. See 
http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.3/manual/noteworthy-differences/ and
http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.3/manual/performance-tips/#man-performance-tips

My personal oppinion is (because i'm doing very efficient computing in 
Matlab) that the Julia = incredible speed is a little bit overhyped. Julia 
gives you the control to write fast programs, but it cannot do the job for 
you.
