Thanks Guys, that's very helpful. I shall now go away and play with the 
performance tests.

Increasing coverage of Julia's own code base was a major effort during 0.5
– it's not a user-facing change but it's very important. If you want to run
performance tests, they can be found under test/perf. There are also a
significant number of benchmarks that can be found in the BaseBenchmarks
 repository.

runtests() runs correctness tests, not performance tests.  0.5 added many 
more tests, hence they are slower.
