Hi, Sorry I have to post a revision so quickly. Just after I posted my previous benchmark, I found the message on the top advising against using global variables when running performance test. I realized I did exactly that, so I went back to redo my test wrapped in a function. And that did the magic! The difference is a ~18x speedup!
I didn't know how to recall my previous post, so I have to post a revised one (attached PDF) here. Since there is no surprise finding about Julia anymore, the benchmark results are not that interesting now; but I have to make sure the information I posted is not misleading, so here you go. Cheers, -Zhong
