That's interesting. It makes sense that a two core machine doesn't benefit too much from multithreading, but "nowhere near C performance" is pretty surprising. I'll try out both the programs around this weekend on my own fairly anaemic machine, and see how they fair for me. Thanks for responding!
Cool. If Julia runs much faster for you than for me I'd be interested in hearing it. I was honestly surprised the performance was so bad so perhaps I did something wrong.
