Not "maybe". This is highlighted as the first point of the Performance Tips section of the manual: http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/performance-tips/
It's not fair to expect a language to be an in-place replacement for another one and yet provide higher performance for free. Any language requires some experience to get productive at coding. Vectorized languages like MATLAB and R maybe even more than others. I feel like this thread has come to a dead end. Regards
